Filmmaker Statement

We are inundated with noise every single day of our lives. The worst of it occurring within our own minds. The lies we believe - about others & about ourselves. Lies intended to imprison us in a cage of guilt & shame. For much of my work - inspired by the strong charge I received in reading Tarkovsky's Sculpting in Time - I had long searched for a narrative to articulate this better than I could. At long last - through a friend of a friend I learned of the story of a brave mother named Jackie & the journey she went through to conquer her inner demons. While events & circumstances shifted within the writing - everything was rooted in truth. This film is meant for anyone who has ever listened to that negative internal monologue that causes us to doubt ourselves & trick us into believing that we are anything less than what we were created to be.
