Stills from Boxed-In 📦📦📦

Thank you endlessly to everyone who worked on this film at any point in the process. It is such a meaningful project for me in so many ways, and it means so much that I was able to work with all of you to make it happen. I couldn’t have asked for a better way to end my time at UT.

And with that, Boxed-In is Boxed-Out 🚛🚛
