my theory is that she is the one who killed herself so when he considers it, she pops into his head saying all the things he wished he said to her. idk just a theory
That's what I thought when I only saw the one plate of spaghetti hoops and smiley potatoes at the end, could have just been the angle (but where's the fun in that?).
Wow thats a really good theory. Now that's the only thing I see when I watch this.
if that's true wouldn't she have told him that there's a after life?
crazy neighbors , if that theory is true, then it means that she was only his imagination, not a real thing
oh ok thx
it's gotta be said though, peter wright has some pretty sweet boots
Holy moly I wasn't going to say anything but yes! They sure are some wickedly cool boots. ⚡️
Tubbs Tubbs. gotta love those doc martens
What type of docs are they I want a pair
lovely shirt to
Tim! Amazing, saw this at the YT screening. Genuinely moved man. YOU GOOD!
Thanks Chris! We really appreciate it :)
Where you been man?
CMDanaher On Bertie G's channel recently
aaaaaaay its crabsticks
I can just hear him saying this lmao
I've now seen Peter Wright twice and it just keeps getting better. I am so lucky to have such talented friends
Thanks Lucy! :) miss you!
Still watching it every now and then. Its so good
This video came out the day I attempted suicide and I watched it when I came out of hospital. At the time it really helped. Almost a year later I'm on the otherside of the world experiencing things and I'd like to thank this video for being a part of that.
ayy that's pretty good
Bless you. I'm not even religious but bless you.
People are saying that Jenny is Peter's friend who committed suicide then became his consciousness, but that if that's true then WHERE THE HELL DID THE SPAGHETTI HOOPS COME FROM?
You see my point?
Sana Lone maybe he bought them because they reminded him of her?
And if I'm Two Fab is correct, then maybe the reason there are too many of them is that he bought enough for her as well?
He probably imagined them because he was in denial, and who wouldn't be in denial if their friend committed suicide
Alice is such a great actress holy crap...
Lads. This was really, really good. It looks beautiful. It's well written. And Alice... Jesus that girl can act. Well done. I'm proud of you. x
thankssss Hazelllll :) means a lot to us x
That grandkids line gets me every time
I would say this is the sort of short film that is too good for UA-cam, but really this is what UA-cam should be. Ambitious projects with filmmakers pushing themselves constantly, striving to always better themselves. The production quality was superb from the direction, the lighting, the cinematography. It looked stunning. Surprisingly vivid for the rather bleak subject matter. But I guess it was to more tactfully tackle this subject in a more unique approach than perhaps other films about suicide. Performances were strong, particularly Alice who was on incredible form. I noted that her dialogue contained a lot of swearing which at times felt jarring and gratuitous, however, I guess this also was part of the different approach you were aiming for and to ground dialogue that could have easily gone too mushy and sanctimonious if it wasn't worded carefully. I think the problem is that Peter's attempts at suicide seemed trivial, like his heart was never truly in it, therefore he probably could have been easily talked out of it. True suicidal tendencies can have such devastating origins, that no nicely worded speech can talk you out of it. We never really got to know Peter or why he would want to kill himself, so his motivation is unclear and for him to find a new purpose in the end doesn't carry the significance it could have. Hence why his attempts seemed trivial, like it was merely a phase he was going through, and not really any life-changing event. The closest to an implied reasoning was that he felt no-one cared about him from the sparse list of names in his DVD to the number of views it actually got. I felt like actually getting to know Peter more was something that was missing from this film, leading Jenny to be the far more interesting character. The implication that Jenny was imaginary the whole time is interesting, especially if the suicidal tendencies stem from the loneliness he was feeling. Not a groundbreakingly new concept and if that was the case, then her mention on the DVD would be a little strange, unless he knew a real Jenny? Obviously suicide is a deep and complex problem that to cover in a narrative would be impossible, but it proposes some novel ideas and new ways of thinking, especially in Jenny's speech, that perhaps people haven't considered before, and the more down-to-Earth and lightly comical approach, without any preachiness, makes this a truly thought-provoking and entertaining watch.
Hi
💙
It’s such a relief to see how many people come back to this over and over again.
I really want a poster just of the ending monologue
This video has saved my life so many times, and I can't begin to express how beautiful it is.
It is good that you are still alive - keep on fighting and stay strong ♥
These are 15 minutes I will never feel like I wasted...
I've been suicidal for many years now, with many failed attempts at death. I watched this, and now I see the world differently. You don't understand how important this is to me. Thank you...
This is the beauty of art. We'll all get through this together mate.
As someone who has had the occasional suicidal thought (less of the 'occasional' now, more often than that) may I just say that, Mr Tim H, you must be some sort of genius. That film was beautiful, it was fascinating, it was... Words cannot describe how that made me feel. If I could give my support in any way, other than the occasional comment on UA-cam, I would. Your videos are proper masterpieces. Your skill is pretty unmatched, and you really deserve a lot more publicity.
Wow thank you! Half this praise is for my co-writer and co-director Sammy Paul but this comment really means a lot :)
This was exilent
This video has saved my life more than once, and I'd like to thank you Tim for not only producing such a beautiful short film but for also helping me to stay alive
nice
I'm so happy to read this.
This was emotional, funny and amazing at the same time. cant think of words. just so god damn amazing
Gabriel carrillo yes. i want to make videos like these one day. maybe after uni
Gabriel carrillo :v
I love the fact that the chandelier was on the sofa in the resto fo the scenes
Last night I was in A&E after my flatmate tried to take her life for the 5th time, and tomorrow night I'll be performing the end monologue of this at an open mic night, so although I don't have a lot of experience with the feelings, I know how Jen must feel, even when you can sit there in a waiting room making jokes. Thank You Tim and Sammy, you've made a masterpiece here, not just for UA-cam but in general, this video is actually helping the fear subside slightly. I keep recommending this to everyone and it always comes up in my mind or in conversation
Paul The Koala Baby Thank you! We appreciate that so much! :)
Paul The Koala Baby That's amazing. Let me know if you record it.
Unfortunately I didn't record it but the monologue went well and I got many compliments after it from friends in the audience. I hope I did your writing and Alice Ann Stacey's performance justice. I might record my version on my youtube channel, depending on how I feel
Paul The Koala Baby could you please send me the transcript? I am studying theatre and I would like to present this monologue in a show at the end of the year
+orionatus sorry for late reply, I didn't actually end up using a transcript I learned it from hearing it over and over
Is it just me or: she is the one who killed herself...and he's playing in his mind what he would have liked to have told her. I don't know, it's just my interpretation.
(and no, I haven't read all the comments, so if someone already had this idea...great)
+Al Revon This is exactly what i thought and i'd rather stay with that theory in my mind
good to know I'm not alone. x
+Al Revon This is how I see it: She is not a human being, she is in his mind. She is his thoughts, not the bad or suicidal thoughts, but the thoughts that keep him alive. Like everyone, we all have that piece of mind that's depressing, but we also have the piece of mind that is wonderful, and keeps us happy. I mean, just the way the shots are put together, how he is alone at some points, how it looks like he is just thinking about her instead of looking at her while she's talking. (that didn't really make sense...) And the fact he just stares at nothing while she's talking. It looks like she's just his thoughts. But hey, that's just my 12 year old take on the video! I loved it none the less. Have a nice day :)
+TheNotSoFabulousChannel Also, how she doesn't try to stop him in any other way then talking to him, like someone who isn't really there (or in someone's mind *wiggles eyebrows*) would do.
I had this theory too but sorry to debunk everyone: if she doesn't exist how did she buy spaghetti hoops?
debunkedddd
My favourite shot has to be the last one. She said earlier to kill Peter Wright but not yourself, and as the film's title says we follow the short fleeting life of Peter Wright. Because Peter Wright died the second those train doors closed.
God damn it I fucking love this gorgeous, fleeting piece of art.
this might have changed my life.
I wish to hug this short. To wrap it in my arms and then keep it by my side for whenever I need it. This is so beautifully shot, and delivered a scary and difficult-to-discuss topic in such a friendly, funny, smart, and refreshing way. Very well done, guys. I love it.
:)
Means a lot Morgan! :)
This should be a PSA for suicide on TV.
Flowed inexplicably well. Watching it felt effortless, I was never left bored. I guess that's down to the really awesome directing. And wow. Ciaran did great as usual. A real masterpiece, Tim, one of your best. I honestly think Sammy is great too! He doesn't get mentioned enough either! (Especially after co-writing Bertie's latest) :)
Sammy is fantastic! It's very much our baby :) Be sure to let him know! Tweet him and all that ;)
TimH, I don't know if you realise but this short film has prevented suicide. It is beautiful.
The Enthusiastic Cast Fucking amazing. I love that fact.
I watch this whenever I feel very depressed, and it always causes me to reflect on my life so that I don't do anything rash. I would never have thought that a video would have this much of an impact on my life, but the scripting and the acting and the cinematography is just too perfect. It's not about the most positive topic, but it brings about such positive feelings after I watch it. Thanks, Tim.
This and Rocks That Bleed comibg out within a day of each other? These are the best things posted to youtube in a looong time. Congrats to everyone who worked on this.
As writer and director of both, thanks :D
yes, exactly my opinion Brad Gray :) these two films will stick with me so much longer than all the other stuff uploaded this week!
***** You are consistently hitting it out the fucking park. Well done!
+ICOEPRproductions Great work on both films! Really brilliant job!
I was so struck by the brutally honest approach this short film took to discussing suicide and depression that I also showed it to my mum. It prompted a very interesting conversation about suicide and mental health and I hope that this is something that lots of other people will engage in too.
We both felt that the matter of fact way that this short tackled such a personal and quite daunting subject could actually be more beneficial than a more traditional technique in many cases. Suicide is sadly a part of our society that we can't escape, but open and honest discussion is definitely the way forward.
Thank you to everyone involved in the making of this. It was a pleasure to watch and I hope that it will help many people.
I'll always come back to this. No matter what happens.
Saw this at Buffer and it's been on my mind ever since. Had to come revisit it. Amazing job guys
+Shayna Donovan Thanks for coming back! :)
I feel like Jenny died and peter couldn't live without her so he tried to take his life. Jenny is his conscious because he thinks about her often and because she may have always helped him through hard times he was reminded that she would never what that for him.
Bloody excellent. Alice is phenomenal in this! And the writing is outstanding. Very uplifting. Your best work yet!
this is gorgeous, I love the whole concept of it and the speech at the end is fantastic, its sums up everything I've ever wanted to say! The casting was fantastic, I loved it!! Have to ask though, is Jenny real or a figment of his suicidal mind? I got the impression she didn't quite exist but then again that could just be me! XD xx
I'm so glad you've picked up on this. I won't give you an answer but Sammy and I very much wanted to leave this element up for interpretation.
Exactly my thoughts- I wondered if she was a hallucination or "little voice in the back of the head" :)
...then again, she did bring spaghetti hoops...;)
I almost posted a comment about this as well before I spotted that you had beat me to it. Jenny seems to jump through time a bit and shows up back in the bathroom scene, then sitting on the counter in the kitchen while Peter is still messing with the chandelier in the hallway. This makes me question whether it was artistic design to have her physically present to symbolize the fact that he was having similar thoughts, at those times, as to the ones she expressed, or if she only exists in Peter's mind. Or, possibly, some other third thing.
duuude yesssss I feel like she wasn't a real person the whole time! like, she felt real I guess, but more a figment of your mind. like when she's commenting on his video, it feels like something he himself would be thinking, like "wow im such an asshat" and being critical. and i could envision the whole back and forth of "dude put it online" "dude wtf no" as something thatd take place inside someone's mind.
2023 and still a masterpiece I come back too...
her monologue is so brilliant and so beautiful
"Heeee's gonna swing from the chandelier!"
But really, a beautiful and moving movie...i loved the friends character, both perfectly played. Also direction and screenplay!
It’s been five years and I still come back to this from time to time. You have no idea how much this video actually means to me. Thank you Tim and Sammy
Everything about this just felt right. So well written, well-paced, well shot, well edit, well acted, well directed, well everything. I am especially impressed with the way you managed to make a delightfully moving film about such a delicate subject. Every video from you is another upping of your own film-making game, personally I think you're gonna have your work cut out to trump this, so I can't wait to see what's next. Well done, Tim.
*& Sammy, etc.
Too much to praise here: script, casting, performances, directing, camera work, sound design, music, courage, tone. I've run this four times so far. The rooftop scene was masterful and more than a little scary.
***** thank you! We really appreciate the kind words. 4 times huh? wow. We must have done something right haha.
I think it's safe to say I think about this video, at the very least, six times a year. "Kill Peter Wright if you have to but don't KILL yourself" "If you really were committed to the idea of saying goodbye, then surely you'd have the conviction to pack up and start fresh" and "Assume this is the one shot we get. Stick it for a bit. See what happens" have been part of my internal monologue for the past six years. I share the words with friends who are struggling. It's important. It's raw. It's real. Without any exaggeration, this is my favorite video on the Internet
Really excellent job on this, from everyone. Proud to have been involved =D
This made me feel more emotions than one single thing has in a very long time. Absolutely amazing work Tim, Sammy, Steven, Alice and everyone involved.
Thank you!
6:45 7:09 12:12 and 13:10 are golden. The tilt at 10:00 before Jenny levels with Peter👌 Whether she’s real or not...I don’t know and I kinda like it that way 🤷🏻♀️ If you have your own “Jenny” then you’ll know that friendships like that are life’s little treasures though, that’s for sure ☺️ Great work with a profound impact - something to be immensely proud of! 🦁
I can't count how many times I've revisited and re-watched. This is a new definition of brilliant, really.
Beautiful film. I only have one question and it's probably gonna ruin the sombre mood everyone's got but I just *have* to ask. Is Jenny real? Is she maybe possibly just Peter's conscience asking him to give life another go? That'd also explain the little blur when Jen asks Peter to consider posting the vid up on the Internet.
I was thinking the same
Yeah I thought that too I don't know if shes real or not though
she is not real
She never moves anything or touches anyone so that lead me to believe she may be his conscience, maybe taking on the form of his friend Jenny who had killed herself or something like that.
Daisy-May Wyatt the laptop?
This is fantastic. Saw it at the UCL screening and I was really impressed. I think you've all handled the subject really well. Loved the tone of the whole film. And the message was really well delivered.
One of my favorite things about this film, is that it its never explictly stated why he wants to kill himself, which really allows me to connect with the character. I loved the combination of humor and substance and just wow. I loved it.
This is genuinely fantastic. I've been suicidal in the past and this helps so much more than any bullshit advice and "this too shall pass." God, it's refreshing to hear someone talk candidly about suicide and treat the topic like it isn't something to be terrified of. Brilliant short film.
Wow.. This was really hard hitting but at the same time so positive. Fucking awesome, Tim!
Thank you! :)
Tim H No way you actually replied! *faints*
BuzzsawMoviesLtd He's not a big youtube star that doesn't want to soil his hands with the masses "yet".
Btw, fantastic video.
i have watched this film over and over again because it just is so beautiful. its my favourite video on the internet, and its so under-appreciated. if i am honest, i feel like this has saved my life many times. depression and suicidal thoughts, all fairly normal things. this just snaps me back in to reality and makes me question what i was doing. i have alice's speech saved in my notes for times when i need it most.
whenever i even watch this, i cry. i dont know what it is about this video, but its absolutely incredible and i damm well love it. it has had an huge impact on me and its amazing. literally- the score, the monologue, the concept, the script.
well done tim, on making one of the best and most meaningful videos on the internet today.
I know the hoops wouldn't be here without Jenny's character but I also like to think that she really was never there. Especially with how the last shot was filmed with only one plate visible, and Peter sat in the middle of the sofa there are quite a few things that could point to her never actually existing. The fact that she talks across time and space as well is an interesting thing to look at because no human can actually do this. I have come back to this again and again over time and have always found something new and interesting to think about afterwards so thank you for making this wonderful piece of art.
I didn’t know I needed this. If not for my own self than for convincing my friends to continue “sticking it out”
i come back to this video every few years to see if my understanding of it has changed, but also to connect with my 13 year old self who used to watch this and wish for someone like jenny to tell me it’s okay. I’m now 20 and, although i haven’t found my jenny yet, i’ve tried to become her myself. I allow the thoughts to enter, but I push through them and remind myself that I have so much more love to give to this world and that i’m not done giving just yet.
almost a year later and this still evicts raw emotion from me every time i see it. It's such a powerful message presented in a beautiful way, with awesome doses of humour. Seriously one of my all-time favourite short films ever thank you so much for making this
I always get chills when she says "your grandkids would love you."
i don’t think i’ve watched this in 4 years - it meant so much and i forgot. so much as bloody happened since then, i went from 15 to 20, from helpless to helped, from school to uni, from therapist to psych ward, from hopeless to truly hopeful. i’m so glad i stuck it out to see what happened - because this has happened, a life i am so proud to be living.
WELL. Thought I'd hold back comments until I'd watched it the whole way through, which I now have so here goes...
Honestly I feel like this film is really important. It provides an incredible message and outlook on life in both a humorous and touching way and I'm seriously impressed. To hear all of this really does put things into perspective for me and there's something about this film that could really help people through the hard points in their lives. Suicide rates are upsettingly high, and at a time where self harm is heard about daily, I feel these topics really do need to be spoken about.
I think the power of this film is testament to the script and performance. The script is absolutely beautiful and well written and both actors do a wonderful job of switching between humour and sincerity with really touching delivery.
Visually, it looks wonderful, as a lot of you guys' work often is and I honestly can't really find any flaws.
At first viewing, I found the end so sudden and I was unsure. Although it felt like the story had concluded neatly, there was something about how quickly it cut to black that confused me. However after watching the end a couple more times, it does feel right. I'm wondering if there's any symbolism between the cut to black happening just before the doors fully close? Perhaps the suddenness of it represents the fragility of life and how quickly and instantly it can be over, I'll mull it over.
But yes, overall, this was absolutely beautiful. I really enjoyed it and well done to everyone involved! Now, I'm off to share this around on every social media site I've ever used!
Exactly what I was thinking
This was exactly what I was thinking too!!
I know people say this about stuff a lot but this is honestly truly very important. It's very beautiful and very real and I'm so glad I am able to watch it when I need it. And I do need it. Thank you very much for making this. Sincerely.
***** Thank you so much :)
Still hold this movie close to my heart. it's a masterpiece ❤
I stumbled across this during a period of suicidal thoughts and it was part of what saved me
I thought this was absolutely brilliant, and then I realised that Jenny was a figure of his imagination and that's so deep and creative! This is genuinely so interesting and should be shown on TV for sure.
i suck at words and i suck at commenting because i never do that but today has been shit, more shit than usual, and ive found myself in a state that scares me. id rather dig myself a hole and hide in it and just cry than try and get my life back together. but this film just helps me get back that little bit of strength and hope i need to not give up. i can't thank you guys enough for making it.
Just looking through the comments, it's incredible how many lives this video has saved. It's certainly helped me more than once. I don't know how to express my gratitude other than saying thank you, but I certainly know that I'd personally be a lot worse off if this had never been made.
Both the actors were great, but I'm particularly impressed by Alice Ann Stacey. I think she really did a credit to the (already great) writing with how she chose to inflect her voice. Very natural and very funny.
I found this during a long midnight UA-cam binge and it's still my absolute favourite short film, incredibly well done! xx
I've rarely found anything so incredibly well-crafted. Awesome work from Ciaran as always, as well as the rest of the production team. The script is tight, well written, and well acted. You dealt with your subject matter in a great way, exploring Peter's dilemmas, whilst at the same time ensuring that the result didn't preach like a PSA or awareness campaign. A technical and thematic masterpiece.
I’ve probably watched this 30 times and I cry for a different reason each time
To this day I still love this piece of art. I fell for the actors, the background, the setting and clothes as well as the light and mildly mundane but “not bad” type of atmosphere. She was so expressive and he was amazing at immediately showing what type of character he is by just his posture and expression. The casual approach which didn’t lie but was quite realistic as well as littered with dark humour was so refreshing for me at the time. I was so impressed by the rooftop scenery and the setting of the house back then. Brilliant still.
I remember watching this when it first came out, I was in my first year of high school, I was extremely suicidal, self-harmed every day and had already attempted suicide twice but this video stuck with me, obviously, it didn't magically cure me, hell I still have occasional suicidal thoughts but I just finished my first year of uni and I'm in a helluva better place so basically, this was just a big rambling thank you to everyone who made this film and helped make escaping that dark place a little easier.
Your videos are getting better and better, keep up the fantastic work!
This is honestly one of the most beautiful, poignant, inspiring films I have seen. It is perfectly shot, the dialogue is amazing, the music is beautiful- I love it.
This is my third time watching this, and I just realized how much more sense the line "It feels weird saying this, but I don't know what I'd do without you" and then Jenny's reply calling that a "bit gay" make when you view Jenny's character as a figment of Peter's imagination.
I don't know how to explain this without seeming like I want attention, but almost every day this little voice in the back of my head whispers to me. Saying that I'm not good enough or that I deserve the pain I've been through.
This past week I've written notes, then decided that I best not leave an explanation. I figured no one would notice me, they already don't. I'm just that one kid who cowards away from people. I'm the one they all bully. I've got scars and bruises, I've got doubts.
I have been subscribed to this channel for a while now, and this appeared on my dash. I watched it, I cried. I now know that I might actually have a purpose in life. I might actually be wanted by someone.
And so I thank you for all you've done, thank you for the help.
-Madison Henke
Madison Henke :) good luck with everything
Door Matt was this written before you became trans
Just checked out your channel and read your bio
Frank stans rise
I still think this holds up. This should be played in schools insread of the stress workshops
THIS IS GENIUS! ( I'm at 8:10) she wants to do this so he can see how much he himself means to others and all the kind messages from people who you thought never even cared to give him some motivation and for him to have an epiphany... It's rather clear that she's trying to lighten everything up (much like Tom did when Ed was in hospital....) and that perhaps Jenny's gone through a significant amount of shit. Thank you ever so much for making this
I'm now at the end and feel a fool for my prediction, this is one of the most heartbreaking/strengthening short film about friendship I have ever had the fortune to display my eyes upon.... Thank you ever so much
This was incredible. I hadn't watched it until now because of the topic it deals with, but I really should have. It's surprisingly uplifting. The second last scene where Peter is on the couch was probably my favourite scene, as it externally shows his inner journey without some sort of exposition that literally tells you what's going on in his head. It's clear you worked hard on that, as it can be difficult to pull that sort-of journey off without going "huh?" It's great and very clever, really.
Also, the cinematography is brilliant. Well done to Ciaran. And Dan for sound design, also well done. I never say that (I know Dan works on sound design in a lot of films I've watched on UA-cam), but with sound being one of those things that people rarely compliment when it's well done, but will note hugely when it's bad, I feel I should. So great job on that, Dan.
And Tim and Sammy, you did a really great job on this. Nice to see how well you can pull off a longer film (of course there was Project: Library, but that was completely different). Alice was wonderful, not doubt due to the direction given on it. Her monologue was wonderful, quite hard-hitting and yet positive, overall being very truthful and honest.
I need to stop writing because this is almost longer than my blog posts. I don't really have the time to write something shorter. So anyway, well done to everyone involved in this. You did a damn fine job.
You're things are obnoxiously good right now. Stop it... or don't stop it. Continue knocking it out of the park.
Thanks man! We really appreciate it :)
YES THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAITING FOR I SHALL FINISH THIS COMMENT ONCE I HAVE FINISHED WATCHING THE FILM!!
Holy shit, this was unbelievable.No word of a lie, the shots at the start made me jump to some conclusions about the conclusion of this film; but they were all necessary to the story and the progression of the character of Peter Wright. I am also getting the feeling that Jenny was a figment of his imagination but then again I could be jumping to conclusions. The comedy was slightly dark but nonetheless hilarious! After watching 'Rocks That Bleed' it has led me to believe that Sammy Paul is a writer/artist/pretentious guy that inspires me endlessly. You also inspire me Tim, well done to everyone working on this project, it was an excellent piece of film/art.
A resounding WELL DONE!!
This was truly one of the most beautiful short films I've ever seen in my life.
4years later and this is still one of my fave youtube vidoes
This is probably the greatest things I've ever seen. I love the ending its just so incredible. 10/10 keep up with the amazing content.
Cameron Russell Thank you! :)
+Tim H Can we possiably have a written version of jennys speech? i have a few suicidal freinds and i think reminding them of this every little while would help?
a beautiful masterpiece. the whole video touched the subject so well and delicately; not showing suicide as a cowards way out, as some may see, but showing the other possibilities. medication, therapy and one's own positive thought is what I believe to have been the girl talking to him and the steps he made away from suicide. again a beautifully made masterpiece.
its been 6 years since this came out. I watch it everytime I'm at my lowest. this short film has saved me so many times. thank you. thank you so much
same here
Being someone who has been even the slightest bit suicidal in the past, this really hits home. Keep up the good work, guys.
Saw this on what I think was an advert and I've come to watch it. What I didn't know was that it was made by the one and only TimH!! This film is very inspiring, Thanks tim.
I normally don't really like films about suicide or something like that but this one captured me from start to finish and it made me really really emotional. I think this is a really positive and hopeful film, great great job Tim! I'm gonna watch it again I think.
Thanks Jack Howard.
Whenever I am upset or having a shitty day or week or month or year or whatever. I always come back to this video and listen to the end speech. This is my favorite film of all time
Came back to this for the first time in many years. When this video first came out, I was already subscribed, but kinda out of the loop with your projects. I was going through a lot in high school, and on a particularly dark day, I randomly decided to check on this channel to find this video, freshly posted. I firmly believe that this was God-sent because this one video gave me the strength and perspective to get through the rest of the year because, like Peter, I didn't want to leave this world, I just wanted to leave where I was at and start over new. Leaving high school, leaving my old friends and the town I knew too well was just the thing I needed. I can't tell you how thankful I am to you and your team for creating this video.
over the time this has been out ive atleast watched this once a month...
I felt so many emotions during this.
I'm a bumbling mess of tears and snot right now. Shit I'm glad this film exists. Thanks.
i always come back to this. this film has genuinely changed my life
I've now seen this three times. Pretty much my only complaint is that the title is a bit too similar to "Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life". Other than that UNFORGIVABLE SIN, it's another huge leap forward for Tim, Sammy and UK youtube in general. Not perfect, of course, but any problems are little more than quibbles. Mad props.
This is really beautiful with an insanely good concept. That speech was just absolutely superb and really got the message across to me. You balanced the right amount of humour and seriousness and created a phenomenal short film. Awesome job to the whole team. :)
We appreciate that! Thanks for commenting :)
this is just so motovating and the speech at the end really makes one think about how senseless it is to end life early instead of just changing it. especially where there are so many suicidal people who think they can't escape their situation. All it takes is a step: not off the roof, but out of the door.
Watching this again in 2021 and I still love this. It's so good.
i watched this a little over a year ago and it really helped me. It gave a comedic and meaningful way of looking at the situation. Thanks xo
What a masterpiece! Really well polished and intelligent filmmaking.
I'd like to thank this film for inspiring me the day before an English speaking exam, where I had no clue what to talk about, to write & talk about suicide and eventually got a distinction for it,,
This is the best performance I've ever seen from Alice! Very good indeed x
