Story
About The Project
I think there is a lack of fundamental stories being produced. About people. About relationships. About the gunk. My life is shades of grey, and I think most people live in that world, too. This movie is a representation of those aspects. Humor and drama are everywhere and go hand in hand. Laughter at a funeral. Crying at a wedding. Family fist fights at holiday gatherings.
This is why I want to make this film. I want to show that life isn't clean, but we like it that way. Pain can be healing. Laughter can be sorrow. And love doesn't fit in a greeting card.
This story started two years ago. Four drafts later and after many conversations in my head, it is ready to be brought to life. In the spirit of the film, it needs to be made now because time is the most precious and uncertain value we share.
