Director Statement
This Covid-19 coming of age comedy, made during the height of the pandemic, captures the universal experience of recent graduates who have become trapped in transitional purgatory. The short film chronicles the absurd happenings of three roommates and their lives together in the shell shocked city as they attempt to navigate the post graduation world. While these young adults may have been unfairly halted in their development, their story is my story, the story of my friends, and the story of recent graduates all throughout the world during this unprecedented time.
