Director's Statement

How do you make a film about community and family, something that requires bringing people together, in a time when necessary covid-19 precautions make that almost impossible?  Blending green-screen, verite, traditional doc elements, original artwork and animation, this intimate look into the creative mind of Niall McNeil and his chosen family was also a beautiful act of creativity from director Marie Clements. Edited using Adobe Premiere.
