Director's Statement:
Under the guise of light, comedic, and extravagant language, Can’t Help but Run is a portrait of how two opposite beings can experience a brief sense of bonding that can drastically alter their lives, a reflection on the consequences our actions have —upon us and upon others— and a contemplation of how freedom and responsibility are often confused with carelessness and enchainment.
