director’s note

“Broken Bottles has been a project the team and I have been working on for the past year. It spawned from a great script Katie wrote which was adjusted for the screen. It’s full of heart, humour and is grounded in a naturalistic reality. It was a joy and pleasure to be apart of such a film and expiernce. The entire crew and I cannot wait to show you what we have created”.
