Director's Statement
The character of Melinda immediately drew me into this project.
She's vibrant, complex, misunderstood, and presumptuous, with an element of vulnerability. For some reason, I kept thinking of "I Love Lucy." The scene when she's pouring whiskey into a measuring cup was designed by me. The writer wanted a regular glass, although I thought the measuring cup played more into the psyche of the character and her exhibited behavior.
This film was a wonderful step in my learning process.
