Director Statement

"You're Dead Already, Bro" was thoroughly enjoyable to make. Emilio is a great friend of mine (and next-door neighbor) and he was fantastic throughout the whole process, willing to open up about his experiences, wanting to share his message with a wider community. I want to thank Emilio, my documentary teacher (Mr. O'Reilly-Rowe), and my whole class for their support. I hope this documentary can help raise awareness about the importance of donating organs to those who end up in similar situations such as Emilio.
