ABOUT THE FILMMAKER:
“This is one of many shorts I wish to make into an anthology series about "caregivers" in the United States, with a focus on marginalized and/or working-class individuals. As a filmmaker I aim to tell universal stories in very specific or contained worlds, and wish to explore everyday heroes such as teachers, single parents, social workers, nurses, etc. As well as the under-appreciated sacrifices such caregivers make everyday.”
- Brady Morell, Director.
