Filmmaker Statement

In 2021, I lost someone very close to me to suicide and have since noticed depictions of grief and suicide in the media. These depictions often triggered me or left me feeling unsatisfied or alone. This short explores the complexities of grief in its earliest stages just when life begins to pick up and move around you again despite if you (the person in grief) feels ready or not. Less than four days after I lost my loved one, I knew I wanted to create a film about my experience. An actor, devising theatre artist, and a filmmaker by trade and this is what came out. Please enjoy.
