how not to kill yourself

About "How Not To Kill Yourself"

I filmed Molly on the year anniversary of her cousin’s suicide. After losing someone I loved to suicide many years ago, I realized that people who struggle with suicide often don’t understand what the aftermath does to the people they leave behind. I asked Molly to tell her experience with this, and she was willing to do it -honestly and clearly- with her mother and her cousin’s father joining in. I’m putting it up here in the hope that it will help people grasp the reality, the finality, of suicide for themselves and everyone who loves them.

"How Not To Kill Yourself" is currently screening at the 2005 Seattle International Film Festival in the Women in Cinema Program.
