Director's Statement
Not much to say about this one, except that this is where it all started. My first proper short film. This was also my first collaboration with actor Lee Reimers, whom I would go on to work with frequently. It also marks the beginning of my collaboration with composer Christos Drouzas, who has scored the majority of my films.
