Director's Statement

Daniel Cugola, filmmaker portrait provided to AFIN.

I made this film in light of the recent Australian bushfires, as well as wanting to tell a story about masculinity and what it means to be a man to different people. I felt that I personally needed to make this film, and I hope that it resonates with other people.
