I would say this is the sort of short film that is too good for KZbin, but really this is what KZbin 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.

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 KZbin, I would. Your videos are proper masterpieces. Your skill is pretty unmatched, and you really deserve a lot more publicity.

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.

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.

+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 :)

Listen, I've watched this video years ago. Maybe, 7-8 years ago. A couple weeks after returning home, coming back from the ER after my last attempt. I was convicted to do it again, having learnt from my previous mistakes. But after watching this, I never tried again. When the thought comes back once in a while - because I'd be a liar if I said it never did - I watch it again. It made me who I am today. For you, and for other people, it might just be a short movie, a showing on some artists' skills when it comes to being able to write, record, edit, act... But I know I'm not the only one who this short movie have saved their lives and - in my case - changed our view on it. Thank you. Sincerely.

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.

It's not about the most positive topic, but it brings about such positive feelings after I watch it. Thanks, Tim.

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! 🦁

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 KZbin), 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.

What a unique and extraordinary way of tackling the subject of suicide within a film. It felt so refreshing, and for the first ten minutes whilst I wasn't quite sure the tone was a good thing with the subject matter, I quickly changed my mind soon after thanks to Alice Ann Stacey's wonderful performance. I believe it's her carrying of the tone that allows it to reach somewhere both melancholic and strangely uplifting at the same time. Those last 5 minutes in particular merge the writing, directing, performances and sound altogether beautifully, and of course it's brilliantly directed and looks beautiful as Ciaran's cinematography always does. Brilliant work Tim and Sam, I must say I was a little bit weary after the trailer, but I can't wait to immediately watch this again.
