I remember earnestly praying to God that I'd wake up as someone else. I told this story to excise that from myself—the self-hate, the self-destruction—and those who've felt it too. Because, as the film depicts, it leads only to deeper loneliness.


Creator
I am an NYC-based writer/director/producer. My experience includes over 1,000 hours of on-set experience for short-form projects, directing an award-winning short film (Briefly Gorgeous), and considerable time spent in the production office of union films (ranging from Tier 1 to Majors).
