director statement

This is a film. This is not a YouTube skit or anything I’ve put out before. This experience is about identity, existentialism, acceptance, and falling in & out of love. If I were to ask you if there’s an appropriate way to love, you wouldn’t have an answer. When you’re in too deep, reality distorts when someone else is in the picture. I implied the idea of a sitcom episode to be a metaphor for a relationship, once the relationship ends, it's time for the next episode. Thank you to everyone who put themselves in the spotlight and brought this film to life with their wonderful talent, humor, and initiative into bringing in their voices. This project is dedicated to those who are lost, those who are still finding themselves, whether it’s from the question of what happens after death, or.. the question of who am I, without La Fantasma Que Amo.
