Director’s Statement

In one of my earliest attempt to make a film, the $15,000 camera crashed and broke into pieces, shattering a dream I’ve once envisioned. What ensued was trying to pay off the repair cost and a huge dent to my confidence. Fortunately, conditions were right for me to pick myself up, with the support of my close friends, and I decided to shoot this film with whatever resources I had.

I have nothing to offer except my genuine sincerity in trying to make a film.
