Filmmaker's Note

"No Vacancy" tells the story about fractured relationships, this sis something I'm forever interested in - how relationships work, how they struggle and why. Mental health is a very important topic to me, it affects nearly everyone of us, and in "No Vacancy" we try to look at how certain aspects of depression, grief and suicide can affect us and the closest to us. It's ok to not be ok, and sometimes it's best to let go of pain and accept help.
