Filmmaker Statement

Break, Break is the product of our shared experience of social isolation. The main character is grappling with a question we've all been forced to answer for ourselves through the pandemic: how much are we willing to give up, and for how long, for the guarantee of safety? Sarah, my co-producer and the writer of this film, lived a similar experience to the main character of the film as a single woman living alone in New York during the pandemic. As a director, I was excited to explore the intimacy of that loneliness through photography, and to juxtapose that darkness with the beauty of Northern California. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you enjoy the movie!
