Filmmaker's Inspiration

I wrote Confessions in the aftermath of consuming way too much news. I was struggling to feel hopeful and optimistic about the future. I craved to see a world where people were gentle and compassionate with one another. Not a fantasy world where nothing bad happens, but a world where vulnerability is celebrated and good things happen when people allow themselves to be seen.
