Director Statement

After making an action and dialogue heavy piece, I decided to challenge myself by creating a moving story that could be told without words. The idea grew until a script was drafted, formulating "The Farewell." After finding stellar actors, we shot the film in two days, which were an emotional two days. The atmosphere that hung in the room as we filmed was so heavy, we were constantly attempting to make light of the situation with jokes and gaffes, most of which we never got on film. My actors would occasionally join in, but for the most part, stayed in character, even to the point of working up tears between takes during the crew's outrageous laughter over someone's immature joke. When push came to shove, though, the filming went very smoothly, garnering some stirring emotions from my actors.
