Submitter Statement : This is an excerpt of the first feature I have ever produced, first feature ever directed and to add to the challenge of being the first it was done all in improv method, using 4 cameras and in 2 languages, one of them I have very little knowledge of (American Sign Language). It was a work of passion and devotion. I'm super grateful for all the cast and crew who worked so hard to make it happen. I really hope you all enjoy it!
