Director Statement
I am inspired by women who dare to be weird- and not in an ironic, manic pixie way. Weirdness rooted in passion and purpose. There is something beautiful about that moment when you recognize each other and go, “you too?”, realizing that you aren’t as alone as you thought. I make stories about those women.
