Director Statement

It is with great humility that I submit our project for consideration, to a global platform with a far reaching voice, to communicate and share our vision for a future of companionship that extends beyond humans, to embrace previously unimaginable companions in a more optimistic, trusting, manner, that may address the significant issue of loneliness in society today. Thank you for providing us creators with the opportunity to share our works, during this pandemic lockdown, which gives us hope and optimism for a better 2021.
