Director's Statement: The question posed by the character in the film is an interesting thought that often passes through my mind while crafting film. Who do I make films for? Would I stop making films if I was the last person on Earth? I spent a few weekends alone in the abandoned prairie landscape of Cypress Hills during the writing and filming portions of this film.
