Director Statement
Creating the short film HE ONLY HIT ME FOUR TIMES was important to me. As an attorney and just as a woman in general, I've seen how domestic violence tears families apart and often repeats itself through generations. The film aims to highlight this critical issue, encourage open discussions, and foster awareness. The film addresses this serious societal problem in an honest and unfiltered way. I feel that there is not enough dialogue surrounding domestic violence. When it is discussed, victims are often seen as coming from undesirable backgrounds and are frequently blamed for the situations they find themselves in. Not enough attention is given to why victims find themselves in these positions and workable solutions. The film challenges myths, acknowledges the real dangers that domestic violence poses, and offers hope to victims. It is my hope that this film will spark honest dialogue focusing less on where the victims come from and more on prevention and restoration. Prayerfully, it will change the view of those looking from the outside in and lead to sustainable positive changes.
