The story behind the film

This is my love letter to the movies I’d roll up a jay to and watch with my friends growing up. It’s a throwback film with roots in 70’s crime films and 90’s action films. It’s a personal story about accepting grief and forgiving the sins of our family while growing to become our own people.
