Director Statement
Pistachio Ice Cream is the most intimate story of mine at the moment. Growing up with exceedingly high standards in an oppressing school system left its mark on me and thousands of teenagers my age. I want my peers to know that they are not alone and it is okay to rest and take good care of themselves.
