I had always held a belief that people must, deep down, want to do good. They must be doing their best but lack the power, funds, or knowledge to do more.

I’m fascinated by emotionally complicated characters and relationships where attraction, vulnerability, and danger all exist at the same time. I wanted to explore that tension in a dramatic and immersive way.
