About this submission

Everything Happens came out of two things, a commentary on suburbia, and my perspective of family. I wanted to make a genuine on the ground piece focusing on the personalities and "mountain out of a mole hill" perspective that I was raised around. I wrote this short for my mother, who stars in the film - alongside my father, sister, and friends. An eyepiece into the ironic world I know, and a way to explore my nature and where I come from as a storyteller on a shoestring budget.
