Director Statement

This film was created as the final project in the 2nd year at Middlesex University and is a study on how to subtly portray deeper emotions. The production faced many challenges because of the Covid-19 pandemic, like many essential crew members being stuck abroad. Even though the situation seemed bleak, the team pulled together and created this film.
