A Brief Interview with Chloe:

Why did you decide to make this film?

I made this film because I wanted to tell a love story in my own voice. I think that as we grow our idea of love shifts. It was important for me to create a piece that showed my interpretation of love at that moment in my life. 

What was your favorite part about making it?

There were so many magical moments. I enjoyed seeing the wonderful animation that Katelyn Rebelo created and also letting Lyndsey Bourne take the reins with the voice over. 

What are you working on now?

I'm working on a short film right now! We are going to film this summer in North Carolina.
