Director Statement

Modern identity is built on the work we do, including -- though it is rarely named as such -- parenting. With this film, we wanted to explore how isolating it can be to have to get our hands dirty alone. At the same time, finding someone to work alongside can feel like a miracle, one that has the power to help us see ourselves a little clearer.

In short, we fell in love with the idea that shared work is intimacy and tried our best to tell a story of what it might look like to cultivate that.
