great i loved it i know its a hard topic to talk about but it was great that two students took it on

Congratulations to the brave students and adults who have tackled a tough subject in a thoughtful and responsible manner. In creating this documentary, you have graciously made yourselves approachable to others who may be or will in the future be living with suicidal thoughts. What a gift you are to others in word and deed.

Siri Bendtsen  |  June 15, 2007

A good job was done when handling such a sensitive topic

Meaghan Stanton  |  June 15, 2007

Very informative! With what has recently happened in Chillicothe, this video does exactly what its title says...it sheds light on this subject that is very dear to all of us. Thanks guys!

Aaron Elliott  |  June 15, 2007

jack  |  June 14, 2007

jess  |  June 12, 2007

Wow, suicide is pretty scary. Good portrayal of the concept.

Soni Saxena  |  June 12, 2007

Very smart and very truthfull.

Tammy Cox  |  June 12, 2007

It was well done and hopefully will help others reconsider killing themselves.

Nancy Dolan  |  June 08, 2007

This is a great introduction into the concept of suicide and death.

Arthi Chandrasekaran  |  June 08, 2007

I think the concept behind this film is good, but there is room to improve as far as the technical aspect. My advice would be to watch other documentary films and study things like framing and lighting. Definitely return to this topic, it's a very important one to youth today!

Marlena Weiss  |  June 07, 2007

that narator is so cute

ME-ME  |  June 06, 2007

that was a strong message

Truman  |  June 06, 2007

Ellen  |  June 04, 2007

Samantha lopez  |  June 04, 2007

Nice job guys very Good Flick It was Really Long but still pretty good

Adrian Santos  |  June 04, 2007

it ok i think it needs more work

jen  |  June 04, 2007

Well done. Good interviews. It is important to think about suicide and talk about it so we can be aware of how to help our friends.

Norm and Lois  |  June 03, 2007

Recently in Chillicothe, the word suicide has come to mean so much more than a word. This documentary by Kyle and Eric has helped the community as a whole to come together and unite. Very moving and this was put together very well. Congrats guys!

Adam Elliott  |  June 02, 2007

this film has a powerful message but my advise would maybe be to make it slightly shorter. i lost focus after a while. though thats probably just me... and it still doesn't take away from the fact that this is an issue that people need to know about so good job

eli  |  June 02, 2007

omg this is so scary it really made me feel depressed

jessica  |  June 02, 2007

wow great story it was very scary how many people really feel that way. but i believe that the narrator was in a way very corny and i think the film could have done with out him and you could have edited it much better... but great story just think you should revise it... you definitly have one of the best stories on this site and potential for a great film...

rebecca  |  June 02, 2007

This video is excellent... it's so well done from every aspect, and very moving and sincere as well. Nice work here, guys.

Sandy  |  June 01, 2007

i think this sounded like something off the history channel...especially with the narrator i think it is a subject that definatly needs to be touched many more people need to know about suiside and need to say something! though i think the story could be stronger and as a film maker i find it that the best way to get a point across to someone is to tell them through the film and not acctually tell them like a reporter. the story was great but the filming and editing needs some work.

jack  |  June 01, 2007

I had a boyfriend who was suicidal, and he would threaten it everytime we broke up or had a fight. So I know where this is coming from. And it was very touching, and sad but true...

tawny  |  May 31, 2007

Wow gentlemen. That was very well done from a technical aspect as well as an emotional aspect. Thanks for sharing it!

Kyle Furness  |  May 31, 2007

Very informative and well done. More than I would've expected from a high school student.

Trevor  |  May 31, 2007

Jessica Crow  |  May 30, 2007

This video can help alot of people get through all their tough times and also can help them see what can happen to them if they are deciding on commiting suicide.

Shea Smith  |  May 30, 2007

I liked this video because it can teach alot of people about suicide and why not to do it because it can not only hurt you but it can also hurt other people.

Ashlee Maddox  |  May 30, 2007

this was my son and his friend that md this and iam glad he learned from it

ed  |  May 30, 2007

i really learned a lot from this video

kyle  |  May 30, 2007

wow this is a great video

kyle  |  May 30, 2007

I liked the use of real people that had been through this before. It helped me to connect with the film.

Dave Costilow  |  May 30, 2007

This film had a very good message. It should be shown in schools to help prevent suicide.

Sue Costilow  |  May 30, 2007

I really liked the unconventional use of lighting. It really grabbed my attention from the very begining.

Brandy VanOver  |  May 30, 2007

The documentary was very nice and well put together. I hope to see more films like this in the future.

Mona VanOver  |  May 30, 2007

The documentary looked very professional.It also delivered a great message.

Unique VanOver  |  May 30, 2007

The editing was very well put together. I really liked the lighting at the beginning.

Christina Costilow  |  May 30, 2007

An excellent documentary with some great information and interviews to provide first hand information. It was a great idea to allow the crosses of the courtyard to drive home the message that suicide is a permanent thing. Great work, guys!

Wil Vickery  |  May 30, 2007

The message is very clear. We need to speak out and do what we can to prevent suicide. The interviewees were very brave to talk about what they did.

Eric Zanni  |  May 30, 2007

i LOVE this video!!! kyle kade is the greatist filmer in the world & eric Zanni is such a cool kid!!! but yea this video helped me know stuff!

Logan Detty  |  May 30, 2007

This video helped me view a whole different thought about suicide. It helped me see how it can affect more than just your family members. It was a very informative video.

Drew Austin Basil  |  May 29, 2007

I thought the video was very good and gave an inside look on suicide. Also I liked it because suicide is a subject that people do not like to talk about and this video could make it more comfortable and acceptable to talk about.

Caroline Holdren  |  May 29, 2007

It was well-directed and moving. I could relate to all the people because they were real people instead of actors.
