Filmmaker Statement

Sit With It is a dramedy that explores the idea that emotional healing can be achieved by facing one's emotions, not by avoiding them. I love reading magical realist stories as they are full of rich visuals and metaphors. And I feel that this story allows me to express my love for the unusual and bizarre. I’ve always wanted to create a world within a film that feels very real and relatable yet has a magical element that doesn’t feel out of place and hence makes it a very effective tool to convey a metaphor. I want to keep the audience engaged by creating a sense of intrigue, playing off of their curiosity of wanting to know what happens next.
