Filmmaker Statement

As a Californian, over the course of my 26 years, I've witnessed the simultaneous increase in Wildfires and luxury real estate obsession (as most recently depicted in Netflix’s hit show Selling Sunset). The dichotomy between the two is both an anxiety and fascination that I wanted to explore in a storytelling medium. My ultimate intentions with the film are to capture the violent absurdity of the modern “California Dream” that has seduced so many (including myself!).
