Filmmaker Statement

"MILO" Is a film about recognizing our patterns of self-isolation. We all have moments of change, some happen gradually, and some snap into view. We follow Alex through their journey into the night to save Milo, a dog they found on the street, and witness themself in Milo. Through the experience, we see Alex change, and take the first steps toward vulnerability. Queer and non-binary representation is crucial in my work both on and off-screen. "MILO" has an entire queer, female, and non-binary crew, as well as the immeasurably talented lead, Lio Mehiel.
