Artist’s Statement:

I was drawn to this story for myriad reasons. When the Weinstein story broke, I started to think about the victims and how they were the ones that people should be talking about. I cared about their stories, and how they coped with the horror. I wanted to tell a story about the importance of solidarity, and about how we can move forward beyond tragedy together. I didn’t want to see or hear the abuser. Rosie and I wanted to do this in a respectful and non-exploitative way, in an effort to be sensitive to decades of abuse at the hands of those in power.
