Director's Statement

Cody Fordham, filmmaker portrait provided to AFIN.

This film has been in over a year of making, I wanted to explore themes such as xenophobia, innocence and parenthood. I also had a hand producing the soundtrack for the film itself. I hope this film resonates with the underdogs and monster fans in society.
