STARRING
DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Comedy has inspired me throughout my career as a filmmaker. As I have progressed through the formal education process I have faced repeated challenges regarding how to effectively convey this particular genre in my own unique style. Thus, the inspiration for this project came from wanting to shift an audience’s perspective around comedy. This shift came from wanting to not only entertain viewers, but to have them connect to and feel for the characters, to have them span a broad range of emotions, all while ensuring that they were finding humor throughout.
With the amazing collaboration of two very talented writers we were able to create a story that emulated this goal. What was transformed to the screen were powerful themes of friendship and independence. Depicting that with a true friend by your side there is no telling what you are capable of, or what it is you may do next.
My style of filmmaking has been influenced by both Wes Anderson and the Cohen brothers. I believe that this style portrays the authentic artistic creativity and passion that goes into filmmaking, while not taking oneself to seriously. Through creative and honest collaboration with the director of photography and the art director we were able to transform this story that I had only imagined in my mind, and made it come to life on the screen.
