I really wanted to capture a story that highlighted the notion of survival, fresh starts, and trying to escape past lifestyles; and I wanted to do it in a short film. I firmly believe that conveying emotion and formulating grounding characters is a strenuous process when it comes to making a short. I was ready for the challenge. We surely hit quite a few brick walls (no pun intended) when it came to the making of this film. Being that it was my senior year of college, I had other obstacles happening in my life. However, I can truly say that the process taught us all the value of patience, trust, and hard work.
