Director’s Statement
This film grew from a personal experience of returning to my childhood home. I wanted to capture that specific feeling of walking through spaces filled with memories—how the past and present can exist simultaneously in a single moment.
Production Notes
Shot over 12 days in Portland, Oregon, the film employed a small crew of dedicated artists. We used natural light whenever possible to create an intimate, documentary-like quality that grounds the emotional narrative.
