“Is it over yet?” That’s a question I found myself asking for the past year.
The uncertainty, the unrest, the hardship, the self-doubt, the waiting-for-something-good, the wanting-for-more... when would it all be worth it? In times of isolation like the 2020 pandemic, so many things run through your mind and can hinder you from connecting with others. I wanted to represent this internal dialogue in the best way I knew, and thus the concept for the film was born.
