This film grew from a desire to explore the female gaze and emotional endurance. I wanted to sit inside the quiet weight a woman carries while navigating friendship, grief, and the slow unraveling that accompanies loss.

When I heard Gina’s true story, I was struck by how illness ripples through everyone it touches. This film became less about cancer itself and more about proximity, love, and the weight of shared loss.

This film marked my first real exploration of fear. I was incredibly fortunate to work with Jo Newman early on, and the collaboration with cinematographer Morgan Schmidt taught me how light alone can shape emotion and tension.

My mother is a true character of nature. Writing this film was a joy and a way to glimpse the world through the wild, tender, and deeply heartfelt choices she makes and what it means to be her daughter.

As phone cameras began rivaling traditional filmmaking tools, I became curious about our dependence on them. Shot on an iPhone, this film explores that irony by contrasting a morning consumed by a screen with one rooted in presence.

My first film exploration into a moment. I wanted to share how something vast and heartbreaking could live inside a small, quiet fragment and completely derail a relationship.
