Director Statement
This project is based on a surreal first hand experience. The first version of the script was a verbatim retelling and felt like a Richard Linklater plot. As the script evolved to better serve the story, the theme remained the same: timing is more powerful than love. What compelled me to share this story was not its dreadful thesis but the affirmation that it became. Real connection is rare and should be managed with gratitude. In the end, timing was more powerful but the sooner I recognized the fantasy I could revel in the feeling verses deconstructing the result.

Do you know the legend of the red thread? This is a story of two people that weren’t afraid of playing, burning, or breaking themselves in a hundred pieces. They just press the PLAY button without knowing if there were a second part of the film on…or if it had to be written.
