Director’s Statement
I felt a deep urge and passion to tell this true story. I wanted to explore themes of loss of innocence, power, manipulation and the ugly truth that so often seems to be happening behind closed doors and kept silent due to victims feeling shame. “Not Me” was my directorial debut, so I had to bite the bullet and find the courage to tell it. This film deals with an extremely sensitive and disturbing subject, but I needed to show how predatory abuse doesn’t just happen to women. I wanted to expand the discussion on predatory abuse and show how these tragic and traumatic experiences can happen to anyone.
