Director Statement

This film was near and dear to all of our hearts because the story came from a mix of all of our experiences and allowed us to work together to tell a sweet and meaningful story - a true collaboration. It also allowed us to see Aubrey on screen for the first time ever. He wrote the music for the project. He's 8 years old. A truly remarkable little guy!
