Director's Statement
As a first time filmmaker, this was ambitious to take on. It's a simple story that highlights characters pushed to their limits. From the beginning, we knew it was going to be about the story. As long as we could get the right actors, this story would come to life. At its core, it's simply a conversation with a decision to be made. Those are the stories I love to tell.
