Filmmaker Statement

The film is based on the events of my old friend Ben who got into a fight one day with his mother's boyfriends resulting in the cops being called and the boyfriend later trying to file a restraining order. This detail can also be heard in the film in a passing line. The film itself became a story about moving past something and having the strength to move on. I personally chose this story as a form of a character study piece on Ben as well as my own interest in furthering my academic research into depression and the aspects that accompany it. This was made as my thesis film for a bachelors degree however has not done that well in the festival circuit due to it's very serious subject matter.
