Choosing oneself over duty finds your humanity.

- Director's Statement -
While watching this film, I want the audience to follow The Knight’s journey together with him and reflect on the decisions he is making. The story is not unfamiliar to any of us – everyone gets faced with a choice – to stay devoted to your duty – or to open up to the world and see what else is out there. I want to show our audience that it is okay to take care of yourself, step aside and make a change that will bring you back to enjoying life and staying caring and kind to yourself.
