“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Renee Good’s last words, pressed onto paper, and pinned to a hallway bulletin board. Students lingered there on their walk to class, forced to acknowledge the shooting. To reflect on it. To see her final words. That moment became the starting point for this film. Through a college professor’s work with the printing press, Filmmaker Pablo Quintero wanted to explore how physical forms of expression can slow us down and give weight to stories that are often diminished in the digital age.
