Director's Statement
This heartfelt drama short film conveys how the dynamic in relationships are fluid and constantly changing; sometimes with no warning. Any relationship we take part in, whether it is romantic, platonic, friendship, familial, or business, there is always a delicate balance of giving and taking. Sometimes we get taken advantage of and sometimes we're the ones who take advantage. Learning how to respond and push forward when these dynamics change can be difficult, and even painful, but its worth it when we find the right people to spend our time with who will support us and help us grow into a better person.

Writer's Statement
As a writer, I believe that the art of give and take is the cornerstone of harmonious human relationships. In a world where our connections with others define our personal and collective well-being, understanding the delicate balance between giving and receiving is paramount. The act of giving fosters kindness, empathy, and selflessness, while the ability to gracefully accept and appreciate what is offered strengthens bonds and builds trust. By nurturing this art, we create a society that thrives on cooperation, mutual respect, and genuine connections. It is my mission to explore, through words, the beauty and significance of this intricate dance between giving and taking, in the hope of inspiring a world where such values are cherished and upheld.
