More from the director:

"This story was created in an unusual way as it was initially shot as a fashion film for a large publication. However, it quickly changed course as my lifelong battle with depression and anxiety was brought to a breaking point only a few days before filming. After principal photography I walked away from both this project and the fashion industry to focus on mental health. Strangely enough this film became a non-volitional means of coping, and provided a subconscious road map for all that I would struggle with in the journey ahead. In turn the narrative grew and evolved over the course of the next three years as I searched for a solid foundation within myself. So, its inspiration was not singular, but a compassionate byproduct of confronting trauma, finding the strength to continue living and the search for self-love."
