Director Statement
As the director of "Scrambled Eggs," I am driven by a profound sense of urgency to shed light on the complex and deeply personal issue of reproductive rights. Drawing inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds," I set out to craft a narrative that not only captivates audiences but also provokes thought and sparks conversation.
The title "Scrambled Eggs" serves as a metaphor for the tumultuous battle for women's autonomy over their own bodies—a struggle that persists in contemporary society and may well extend into the future. As I navigate my mid-twenties, the topic of birthright resonates with me on a deeply personal level, compelling me to explore it through the lens of filmmaking.
"Scrambled Eggs" emerged as my favorite script during my third year of college, and its relevance has only grown more pronounced with time. Following the completion of our film shoot, headlines concerning the abortion debate once again dominated the news cycle. It was then that I realized the enduring significance of this story—a narrative that speaks to the inherent value of safeguarding individuals' rights to choose whether to become parents or not.
Through "Scrambled Eggs," I aim to raise awareness of the critical importance of protecting these fundamental rights. By illuminating the challenges and complexities surrounding reproductive autonomy, I hope to foster empathy, understanding, and ultimately, meaningful change. In my film, I strive to explore this topic from the perspectives of both genders, highlighting that when one seeks to oppress the other, it jeopardizes the rights of all involved.
As a filmmaker, I am committed to using my craft to amplify voices, provoke thought, and advocate for justice—and "Scrambled Eggs" represents a vital step in that journey.
