The short film, which earned top honors including Best in Fest and Best Director for Sims, highlights a breakout performance by Sydney Cole Alexander. The cast also features Bates Wilder, Jerah Milligan, Taylor Rose, and the late Dee Freeman. The narrative serves as a reflection of Sims’ own experiences, drawing from a life shaped by childhood epilepsy, global travel, and a background in visual research for major studio releases at BOND.
Bringing the project to completion required significant resilience. Production was disrupted in January 2025 by Los Angeles wildfires, forcing a total regrouping of the team and additional fundraising efforts. Sims managed to finalize the post-production work while preparing for the birth of her son, who arrived just three weeks prior to the film’s world premiere. Currently, the writer-director is working on a feature-length adaptation that expands on the short's core themes of generational cycles and individual belief systems.
