Director Statement
Originally part of Talus Films inaugural 12x12 showcase, I wanted to tell a story that left you wanting more but gave you just enough. Jordan Graves came to me with the script which I instantly liked. After a few edits here and there, we set off in hopes of making a thriller that has splashes of the Coen Bros all over it. We’re really excited to put out there and see if we can find an audience for it.
