I had the honor of directing my first short film this past weekend, a short that Marina Gasparyan and I spent over a year and a half writing, producing and bringing to life.
And you know what the best part was? Getting to make it with an all female crew.
Oh, and getting to act with our actual mothers. (Talk about good casting!)
I am filled with gratitude for everyone that helped create this magical story.
Shoutout to Cojeco, there would be no movie without you.
