About the Production:
“There’s nothing more magical than childhood. It’s an innocent time when imagination, fantasies, fairy tales, ghost stories and adventure play a huge part of every day life. Although those years are short, we spend years reminiscing and reliving them. I wanted to make a film that captured that same sense of mystery and adventure and at the same time also showcase the real fears and emotions associated with those years. I believe this is a story that audiences of all ages can relate to and enjoy, because believe it or not… at one point we were all kids too.” — Will Kindrick
