‘Myths’ - a short documentary challenging common misconceptions about suicide, featuring stories from those who have lost loved ones or tried to take their own life.
Simplicity was key to our approach. Shot in one day on a single vintage lens, we used edge distortion as an unassuming visual metaphor for how a suicide permanently alters the lives of those left behind.
Thank you to Prentis, Sofia, Lesley, Raman and Saniya for being so open with us, sharing your experiences to help invoke change.
Made in collaboration with Papyrus, Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide and Rethink Mental Illness
