The Lament of the Oldest Child

I created this film with my own experience at heart. I have a baby sister 19 years younger than me, and she was quite the surprise. At first, I was simply excited about the cute new baby that was coming into my life- but I very quickly realized that having a tiny human around was a lot of work.

Any older sibling, regardless of age, would understand the rush of emotions that comes with a new baby in the family. Despite a few initial bumps in the road, I've grown to love her more than nearly any other person on this planet-and I dedicate this film to her: the tiny little surprise chick.
