Directors Statement
This is Timothy’s graduating film and his first that he has written, directed and edited.
Frankie Teardrop is loosely based off the song of the same name by 1970’s proto-punk band ‘SUICIDE’.
«I remember listening to the song at the tender age of 14 and being absolutely petrified, the screams sent shivers down my spine. I knew at that moment, I wanted to make something that resonated with the horrific story.»
– Timothy N. Heinrich
