DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT

When it came time for directing students to pick their scripts, Cierra's script caught my eye for its maturity, realism and high stakes. The challenge with the assignment was to make a 10-minute film set in one location with a pre-production period of only 2-weeks. It was an incredibly stressful 2 weeks, and during that period I found myself wondering why I didn't pursue med school instead of filmmaking—but it all paid off in the end. We made a film we're very proud of with a tiny budget and tiny crew using only the resources we had.

Thank you to an incredible cast and crew. I've learned a lot from you all.
