Filmmaker Statement

I See You is a short film partially funded by the New Zealand Film Commission. It tells the story of a young Mum struggling to accept her baby who has Down syndrome. Both myself and the producer, Caroline Hutchison, have sons with Down Syndrome. We have experienced the issues that I See You explores. The internal question at the heart of the film is both personal and relatable for all parents. "How can I see my child for who they are?" I See You is a challenging and heart warming film that has us questioning our own judgments and expectations and ultimately supports us to accept and embrace people for who they really are.
