Director's Statement
My father and I had never made a film before, but we'd always had the desire. Having both been bullied in our younger years we learned a lot about overcoming the worlds obstacles, overcoming oneself, as well as the importance of knowing how to defend yourself, and keeping good company. With my career in music and limited film knowledge, and my fathers DIY business acumen, we knew we could bring his scrappy little story to life and hopefully inspire others on both sides of the screen.
