In collaborating together we’ve found that we both connect with personal and familial history of early and unexpected death. Storytelling is a means of healing our traumas and facing the challenges of ancestors as both a nation and as individuals.

​

Poetic cinema really opened our minds to how we can tell stories looking at the works of Kieslowski’s Blue and The Double Life of Veronique, Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain, Wim Wender’s Wings of Desire, the memory based writings of Betty Smith and the family dynamics of Tennessee Williams.

​

We both grew up immersed in theater. Zach has worked as a director on a number of music videos; Margaret rose within the ranks of the camera department and worked as a producer and coordinator. Both of us bring a background in documentary work to our narrative approach. This film is reflective of this time in our thirties when we are fully entering into the responsibilities of adulthood, looking at the history of the world over our lifetimes, and confronting the future with hope, fear, anger, and activism.

​

We have learned by doing, throwing our bodies and minds into the creative work, demonstrating our leadership, hustle and technical aptitude. We trust our vision and history of collaboration and curiosity to lead us into this next chapter.
