Director Statement
We made this film because we had seen the complexities and complications of interracial couples portrayed on screen, but never the complexities of interracial friendships. We also wanted to
explore the effects of colorblindness and how it negatively affects people of color in their friendships in white spaces. We wanted to make sure that we conveyed the idea that the work required to maintain an interracial relationship should not rest solely on the shoulders of the person of color if the relationship consists of a white person and a POC. We wanted to make sure that this would be Nina’s story—that her desire for boundaries and respect for her identity was justified and honored by our filmmaking.
