Wolff speaks about his experience as director and star of this film. He built this film from the ground up and he speaks of how surreal it feels to have the movie finally ready to show the world. Wolff says it feels "kind of scary and amazing. It's like my kids going off to college."
It felt like this little thing that I did in my room by myself [writing this script] it was this kind of a little secret thing and now that it's an actual real movie to give to other people . . . is kind of scary and amazing. It's like my kids going off to college.
The film was shown at the film festival on Wednesday and won the Director's Cut Award. The film will officially be released online on October 25.
