A young man navigates his relationships, career, and personal ambitions over the course of a day.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
“First Place” is an exploration of generational divides, and the struggles to prioritize passion, responsibility and obligation. I wrote and directed this film having seen and experienced the challenges faced by those in my community as they navigate an independent adult life whilst being a key pillar in their family. In centering “First Place” on the relationship between a son and his mother, I hope to expand an audience’s understanding of the nuances and complexities at play when it comes to keeping everything in balance.
