This is my first feature and what a journey this has been.
This film just wouldn’t have been possible for me to make without everyone’s support. Friends, Artists, Family, Strangers, all coming together to help bring something to life. It’s so wild to me and I am still kind of in awe of it all.
I hope you enjoy the film.
