A PERFECT GIFT
“This is a story about love. Love of family, love of each other, and sacrificial love of one’s time, means, and efforts to bring joy to someone else's life. As my parents begin their transition to a new city and a new state, leaving behind all the things they’ve held dear for over 20 years, I think of them in this movie, and I hope that they see this and know that I’m forever thankful and always noticed their mindful sacrifices.
I hope that, much like the main character of this film, they see this as my little way of giving back to them and striving to be as good or better than they could ever imagine I could be growing up. I hope this story resonates in some way for me and everyone involved.”
