Filmmaker Statement

“Tigress explores the phenomena of militant rebellions. It addresses the disparity between diaspora youth who rebel with drugs and partying and the youth who rebel by arming themselves and going to war,” Tigress is a story about choices, lack of choices, identity, privilege, and revolution. Exquisite cinematography takes audiences from a packed neon-lit nightclub to the shores and jungles of Sri Lanka, ever questioning the possibility of an alternate universe. No matter what your background, Tigress will have you wondering what life would be like if you were born and raised elsewhere.
