Director Statement

My passion has always been telling stories, and for most of my life, I've been driven to bring them to life. This is the first short film I feel is good enough to share. My style blends tragedy with comedy, aiming to strike a balance where we can explore serious themes without leaving the audience feeling clinically depressed.
