Directors Notes
Working with your friends makes it all worth it.  Thank you everybody for your hard work.

I wanted to try drama and push myself cinematically.  I was very fortunate to work with Ching Wang, a skilled cinematographer  from Brazil not only had a visual eye, but who also understood story.

After I wrote it, I realized that in a strange way I had written myself into the story as a struggling artist trying to find his voice, and the logical side of me, Nancy.

John Riggs selflessly helped out in post and let me learn by looking over his shoulders.  His extensive background in writing, directing, editing was very helpful in making better dramatic choices in editing.  His natural instincts blended in nicely with his technical abilities.

Charity's unbelievable commitment made the filmmaking experience incredible and thanks to her she brought her wonderful sister, Shyanne and her friends Rochelle and Caleb.

Shyanne's personal experiences as a young artist was a huge inspiration to find the small details to make the story and characters real.

The musical score by Greg Kellogg.

The songs by Adrina Thorpe really lifted my film to a new level.

Ang Lee, one of my favorite directors, is my big inspiration. In Sense and Sensibility, the background behind the sense woman, Kate Winslett, had wild designs and color. The Sensible woman, Emma Thompson, was always framed, and hard lines and surfaces were used as background.
