Filmmaker Statement

When asked about the roots of the film Kailee explains, “The Idea of a You is a celebration of female friendship. Like most of my work, it is very personal, and I use my life as a canvas to blur the lines between what is written and what is real to magnify the intensity and mystery of attraction. The film is also about disappointment — how we fail to live up to our own ideas of who we are and how sometimes other people fail to live up to our fantasized ideas of who they could be.”
