Director Statement

I wanted to create this film to share a message for anyone who struggles to connect with their culture in a traditional sense. I feel that there are many ways we can express our unique voices within our community, like how I found a sense of belonging in my Marathi culture through my own interests in dance and music. And As a queer Indian-American, I wanted to showcase intersectional representation for LGBTQ+ people of color because I want others to see themselves represented through media in a way that I wish I had growing up.
