Comments
This film is a product of over a year's worth of conversations, visualisations, and planning. I wrote the script, located my actors, directed the project on location, edited the shots, and financed the film with my own money. The biggest costs were acquiring the right costumes, the right props, scouting and driving a whole film crew up to an optimal location in Joshua tree, and feeding them once we arrived. All of this couldn't have been done without the help of my producer, Paris Masiel. I'm thankful to him and everyone else who was a part of the film crew.
