Director's Statement
After losing both of my Grandparents and seeing them in a coma before they passed, hearing the oxygen machine's rhythm, and seeing them on their backs with that serene expression on their faces, and then losing a close family member to a COVID-19 coma, my mind started wondering what was happening to them. It's a lot to have on your mind, so the best way for me to make anything feel better is to make a film about whatever is bothering me.
