Director's statement:

This is a screenplay adaptation of the short story Petit Fours by Jenah Shaw. When I first read the story I felt a personal connection towards it. I found it extremely relatable and fascinating that the main character lacks strong motivations. This would usually destroy a story, but it somehow strengthens it for me. I thought it would be a fun challenge to try to adapt the story to a visual medium, like film, because the story relies so heavily on written exposition through the thoughts of the characters. To make this work, a plethora of creative liberties had to be made, but I tried to keep the overall feel of the original story. Film has always been a creative outlet for me: from when I was a child that spent all day in front of a TV with a stack of DVD's in my hands, to now, pursuing filmmaking as a young adult.
