In the end, Warren accomplished what he set out to do. He made a movie that asked important questions, such as how society should react to sexual predators and how people, as individuals, should define good vs. evil.

“I think art shouldn’t so much make statements as it should ask questions,” he said.

Why was it important for him to take on such a big project now, fresh out of college and pondering his next move in the film or theater industries? For one, because resources, such as funding and friends who can act, were available.

And most importantly, this is probably the only time in his life when he’ll have complete creative control over a film. Starting out in the professional film world, he’ll play a very small role in the process. And later on, he’ll have producers and editors and funding people to deal with.

But that’s years away, yet. For now, Warren plans to enjoy his first major film accomplishment and work toward his goal of attending the film school in Poland where his favorite filmmaker, the late Krzysztof Kieslowski, attended. Kieslowski directed such films as “The Double Life of Veronique” and “Three Colors: Red.”

“I’d like to eventually follow in his footsteps,” Warren said.
