Director Statement

There’s such an emphasis on our differences lately that it’s easy to forget that we are more alike than not. With The Unvisited, I wanted to make a simple, silly, and relatable film everyone could enjoy. In a lighthearted way, the film explores themes of growing older, the fear of dying alone, and the desire to be reunited with one’s family.
