Filmmaker Statement

2 years ago, myself and a friend were laughing at the idea of two hardcore Avatar fans that hosted a weekly podcast in full Navi makeup. Cut to October 2022, the Avatar sequel was upon on us and I still couldn’t stop thinking about this bonkers idea. With this short I took the classic approach that all filmmakers do: book a day, location, all the crew and actors without a word of the script written. All I knew going in – we need a really good makeup artist and everyone involved deserves to have a goofy day on set. I think regardless if you know the world of Avatar or not, the idea of these friends having to move on with their lives is a pretty universal theme and it’s one for us (as we’re about to hit our 30s) that was very prevalent. We went with it, then Hijinks ensued. It’s dumb, it’s hyper-niche, but god are we glad it exists.
