In the year 2062, four students got together on their 40th year high school reunion anniversary to meet in a cemetery with the mother of a son who passed away from suicide in the year 2022.
One’s Honesty is a film about teenage suicide. There are over 150 people involved who put time into this community film project. It’s not your typical film. It was shot in a local high school with a number of people who won scholarships for participating in this film project.
Since this is a community film project and not your typical type of big-budget movie, a lot of stories were told and presented in an honest setting, hence the film title, “One’s Honesty.”
In the film, the students got together for a movie project, a 7-Day Film Out (www.7dayfilmout.com) competition. It will be available at mykindnesscampaign.com. Will things have changed since a fellow student had taken his life through suicide?
You see the students go through their regular classes in Science, Math, English, and Drama. In present time the message through the movie is in regard to hope and help. This is what we hope our message will be revealed through our movie.
G1NBC Studios: One’s Honesty, a community film project, with over 150 people as cast and crew with stories of real life.
Everyone Has A Story. Often, stories have heartfelt conclusions and inspiring revelations. Others end with sadness, demanding questions that sometimes offer no answers. This is sometimes the situation for teens and young adults suffering from depression or thoughts of suicide.
Statement:
When I first put this film project together and got the idea down on paper, said Joe Malik 3d, writer and director, I contacted a writer, Amy Huetteman, to help get the script together. This was her first professional script writing experience. We both sat down and within 30 days One’s Honesty was ready for filming.
After that we started contacting people who we thought would be great to be a part of the movie, and when contacted, everyone had gotten back to us within an hour and signed up to helped to get the message about suicide awareness out and into schools.
On August 8th, G1NBC Studios started filming at Pinckney High School in Pinckney, Michigan. 80% of the people in the movie have had some type of loved one lost to suicide so this is important to the community.
Over the next few months we wrapped up and began to edit the film. Mark Kassa, the music composer, wanted to use the song, “Beautiful” by P.O.D. for the opening–a band from L.A., CA. P.OD. has a foundation to help inner-city kids. We are so grateful they’ve agreed for us to use their beautiful song.
The movie will be released for private screening on December 1st, 2022 at Pinckney Michigan’s Jane Tasch Theater, then the first public premiere will be featured in Brighton, MI on December 17th. This film is sponsored by the Carl Nagy Foundation for Suicide Awareness.
The film is being offered to any one person, group or non-profit that would like to show it. The fee is $500.00, most non-profit can use as a fundraiser.
The main reason for this project was to help get the word out about the message of hope and help for our young people that are struggling and don’t know where to go. We are losing too many young people to death by suicide.
