Statement from Filmmaker

'Don't Wait' was a project that was very near and dear to my heart. This was not the idea that I set out to make when I signed up for the festival competition that it was created for. The idea revealed itself to me and I knew right away that I had to make it a reality. I lost both of my parents in a 9-month span when I was 20/21 years old. It was a devasting experience for my siblings and me, and I still struggle to this day 10+ years later. The thought of creating something to honor them has always been in the back of my mind, but I never knew how to do it. Then along came this project. I've never been the most outspoken person, but what I can do is express myself through my work. My goal in creating 'Don't Wait' was to remind people to cherish the time that they have with their loved ones. To get at least one person to send a text or call their parents after watching. And to tell them not to wait, because tomorrow is never promised.
