Director statement
At its heart this film has a simple theme, that you need to give 100% of yourself to succeed in your craft.

As a filmmaker I have often found myself wondering if I can succeed in such a tough, unforgiving industry. But I, much like the main character Brit, have decided that the only way to find out is to give 100% of myself to this pursuit.

This film is for everyone out there who is caught in the balancing act of paying their bills and pursuing their dreams, a struggle we are all far too familiar with.
