Director Statement

I still remember the spring of 2021; I was doing a location scout with Gianna, the DP. We saw this overpacked boxing gym next to an overhead subway station- people were squeezing within the window displays and punching allocated sandbags, shouting and breathing within their masks. That describes a new world we all had to deal with.
