Director's notes
This short film all started with a random thought, thinking what exactly our guardian angels do besides watching over us. Just like us, do they have feelings too? But, one thing is for sure, whether you're human or any creature, we all need someone to talk to so that we can let go of our heartaches that we keep inside our hearts.
