Director Statement

The film deals with suicide and the insurmountable impact it can have on a child. It deals with testing the limits of strength and courage and love for another human being. It deals with a bond between siblings that can’t be broken. It deals with fate and faith intervening at our darkest moment.

This project is truly a family affair. My two youngest daughters Joely (Clara) and Phoebe (Ruby) performed the main roles in the movie. They also were greatly involved in writing the script - it is a painful story and the words had to come from them. My son, Eli, was responsible for all sound and soundtrack. My twin daughters, Ariel and Zoey, also played key parts in the making of the film. Zoey (a licensed cosmetologist) was responsible for hair and make up, wrote the song for final scene of movie and also plays the role of Nikki. Ariel was my assistant on the set and played the role of Ms. Watkins. A little trivia, Ariel, Zoey and Eli are the youngest ever Daytime Emmy nominees in the category of outstanding original song. Finally, I must include my wife (and mom to the five listed above), Caroline. Not only did she make the turkey, apple pie and aprons for the Thanksgiving scene, she kept the cast and crew fed and voiced the role of Dr. MacAdams.

All the actors are very close friends. They are “family” to me. I was overwhelmed by their talent, commitment and dedication. The subject matter in the film is heavy and devastatingly sad, as we dive deeply into the impact of suicide. The process of making this film with this team was a joy!
