Personal statement
Director Kevin Hoffman says:
"A long gestating project, About the Girl really was a film borne out of a passion for the art. With minimal previous experience and a slight budget, producer and writer Michael Humble gathered up a group of friends and set out to put his words to film.
Working through scheduling conflicts with the principle performers and early snowfalls, they set out to capture a portrait of mystery and intrigue set in the Northern Ontario autumn.
The result was About the Girl, a visually sumptuous effort that will hopefully be the first of many to come from this team of talented, dedicated individuals who came together through a shared love of film, both technically and artistically."
