Artist’s Statement:

Brunch is an incredibly personal story for me. The whole film is essentially one conversation featuring one of my favorite philosophical debates of causation versus free will as well as one of my biggest fears of being alone. The male character in the film speaks almost verbatim as I have, and the female character speaks how I’ve always wanted to be comforted when I’m going through my “existential angst.”
