So … hey!!! Let’s start at the beginning.

You may remember, there was a lot of time over the various periods of lock down to do a lot of different things. Here’s what I decided to do: find out I’m severely allergic to mold by buying a humidifier, start taking anti-psychotics (cool/normal), write, feel AMAZING about what I’m writing, HATE everything I’ve written, and then finally write again after stealing a movie idea from my mom that I make about me. 

During this period of complete mental and physical stability, I also read “Rebel Without A Crew” by Robert Rodriguez, who tells the story of his filmmaking journey by using anything at his disposal to make movies. After churning out a 110-page action-comedy that involved a helicopter flying into a building, I thought—maybe I should take his advice and make something a little more practical.

So, I committed myself to adapting an idea from my mom about seeing my recently-deceased dad in mirrors after he died, and making it possible to film. My mom was in the middle of working on pitches (a horrible experience) to television executives (somehow worse) and said I could take her idea. I took events from my dad’s actual passing and turned it into a surreal ghost story with a lot of stupid jokes and then a few years, after getting married, getting pregnant and having a baby…the movie was written!
