Director's Statement

Snail Mail was made for the Iron Mule Comedy Film Festival’s “Wanna be a Star” competition where an audience member in attendance to a screening was selected to star in a short film. “Snail Mail” was a title chosen by that same audience, and the chosen audience member, Clara Alonso had never acted in a short film before. It was a lot of fun to make and we hope you enjoy it!
