Director Statement
Produced safely during the midst of the pandemic in a 1930’s log cabin on the Appalachian Trail with an on-set cast/crew of six people and a self-financed $8,400 production budget, Here For Us is as barebones and DIY as it is ambitious. Shot by a first-time, female DP with a female and BIPOC, Queer led cast, it is a deeply personal project about family, both blood and chosen, made by a small family of friends. Our process and purpose were inextricably linked and we hope it shows.
