Before we get into anything else, I need to be direct. Yes. This short is 100% based off of my own life. I filmed this piece in the course of a week as a last minute effort to submit content to the Chicago Feminist Film Festival.
I had the idea months prior to filming, but no creative team to help me put it into action. Even so, the festival sparked some kindling in my soul and pushed me to create this work - with our without a film crew. Thanks to a few friends and family as stand-ins, this creative sandwich was born.
