DIRECTORS INTERVIEW
"What personal truth or experience inspired this story, and how did you translate that into the film's emotional core?"
Tiffany: “ My truth is the desire for unconditional love and having a person who accepts you and loves you no matter what. In this story, the love that Clarissa and Armond share is a deep, unconditional love that transcends the basic meaning. Their love comes with unapologetic sacrifice and appreciation. This love is what people talk about, but very few experience.

"What creative risks did you take during production, either in storytelling, casting, or technique, and how did they pay off or challenge you?"
Tiffany: The story in itself is a creative risk. The decision and sacrifice for some will be unbelievable; however, the lead actors give real-life emotions that give the story the wings it needed. Also, I would say that happy endings are relative to the situations and perceptions of the viewer. Some will see the happy ending, and others will not.

"If audiences could walk away remembering only one scene or feeling from your film, what would you want it to be, and why?"
Tiffany: “It would be the scene when Armond realizes that he can’t change his wife’s mind about her decision, and decides to give her more love and support. This shows that love supersedes even the unimaginable situations, much like our creators' love.”
