About Their Film
There's a particular kind of freedom in being fully yourself with the people who know you best, and a rarer kind in carrying that same freedom everywhere else, too. That's the heart of Nicky and Drew's story: a safety Drew helped create that let Nicky show up as exactly who she is, not just at home or with family, but out in the world, unguarded. At Solage, that ease was everywhere, in the way she moved through the day feeling seen rather than watched. There's a nostalgic thread running through the film too, nieces and nephews weaving through the celebration, one small rider circling the party on his bike, the kind of detail that turns a wedding day into a memory you can return to. This isn't a film about performance. It's about a woman finally, fully, at home in herself.
