Director Statement

After spending four of the most fond years of my independent life in a small town with a beautiful circle of friends, I found myself scared to chase the dreams I so passionately yearned for. I originally wrote and directed this film to express the risk that comes with any step forward in life, but with hindsight, I think I simply wanted to remind myself of the courage I get from the ones I love.
