Director Statement:
My hope is that our short film EVERYONE HAS ISSUES reminds us that in relationships, ‘healthy doesn’t always mean perfect’ and our imperfections are what make us beautifully human and yes, indeed, resonate that EVERYONE HAS ISSUES… I believe that if we took a deeper look within, we might find out that we are all doing our very best. Life is messy and relationships are hard, but perhaps after watching EVERYONE HAS ISSUES, we can be a little bit gentler with each other, our partners, and our perceptions of ourselves, and realize human connection is vital in this crazy world we call life.
