Director: David Granneman

Granneman is a self-taught multidisciplinary artist currently living in Vancouver, British Columbia. His films and drawings act primarily as an outlet for his emotions and as a way of addressing what can often be challenging and uncomfortable subject matter. He made the film in December but originally didn't anticipate doing anything with it.

I'm just attempting to make the kind of thing that I wanted to see when I needed to see it."
