Director Statement

My co-writer, producer, and main star Aaron Seever and I have so far ventured into drama, suspense, horror, romance, and comedy with success at the film festival market for each of our endeavors. We, as filmmakers, are always trying to push our craft forward instead of settling for what is familiar. With each of our prior shorts we attempted to create films that strives to please the general movie going audience. But now we wanted to make a short geared toward the genre crowd. Not everybody will appreciate or be comfortable with this film, but the ones that do will hopefully love it. When we sat down to write FINALLY, YOU we both wanted to step out of our comfort zone and create something different. Our goal was to create a film that is more European in its views on language, relationships and sexuality, with a dose of genre level action and special effects. Something that will hopefully entertain, gross out, and surprise audiences with its sensuality, violence, and romance. We aim to attend and promote as many of the festivals that choose to accept the film into their program to engage with audiences and other filmmakers. We are extremely proud of our short film.
