“With my feature film debut, I Live Here Now, I examine the depths of femininity, childhood trauma, and women's rights within my favorite genre -- Psychological Horror. This film is a portrait of a woman's journey towards self-discovery and autonomy.
Being my first feature, I felt inspired to create from a deep place within myself. This film is the most personal and vulnerable art I've ever made and I am so excited to share it with audiences around the world. I drew inspiration from my personal experiences, as well as the stories of countless women, and made a film that resonates on an emotional level while also providing an exhilarating cinematic journey.”
