If I was only gonna make one film, it is this. 

13 years ago, my baby son, Marlon, died. My marriage ended.

I struggled on, doing what I thought was helping but clearly wasn’t. 

Finally, I was introduced to Donna and The Bridge and realised I couldn’t do it alone anymore.  And I didn't have to. 

I had to do the one thing I didn’t ever want to...say goodbye.

Those 6 days changed my life. 

And a few years later, when asked if I thought it was possible for me to make a documentary, I knew with rare conviction and clarity that I could.

Sharing the stories of the brave 12 as they journeyed from darkness to slightly lighter; without ever being heavy handed or tabloid, not being afraid of the pain or the healing. Sharing the benefits, the wisdom I still carry, helping others know that we are not alone. Making something deeply personal yet universal at the same time. 

Something heavy but beautiful. 

There was a burden for sure. Technically I knew I could do it, and boy did the sun behave with grace. Emotionally, it was incredibly hard but I have made something I am truly proud of.
