sometimes, i think about dying | Sundance Short Film About Depression

Re-uploaded from this morning due to an audio issue! Thanks for the patience 💕

"It's my birthday today."
"You wanted to spend it with me?"
" Yeah."
I'm not crying, you're crying! 🥺

I adore that hes more open over texting and that they both are. Im the same way. Its always easier to be up front through a device ig

Is this movie about "Just Pearly Things?" 😂😂

Wow that was really PAINFUL to watch - in a good way! Great acting on both actors!

Maybe Robert is projection of her rumination he doesn't.exist in real life ...maybe a fantasy story she made up in her head . she couldn't tell the difference between reality and make belief..she did say she likes to tell her self stories in the beginning...on certain pjases durinf depression this happens

The ending is genius. True human connections are the most beautiful and healing thing. And it's becoming more and more rare because everyone is depressed.

The Office without the documentary crew…

Putting periods at the ends of texts…that’s like a movie using a 555 phone number

I thought Daisy Ridley is meant to be in that!

Only now am I discovering this film, but it's quite relatable. Having battled depression myself, what Fran thinks about, and how she thinks about them, are similar to how I've felt in the past. The overall awkwardness is also familiar. I applaud the team for showing depression in such a candid and raw manner, as it's not often that I see films tackle this subject with the kind of honesty displayed here, particularly the part where she breaks down into tears at the end at the realization that, yes, someone actually cares about her and wants to be with her despite how she sees herself. This hits close to home and is so well acted, staged, and presented. My compliments to all of the crew and cast.

The thing about being a serious, depressing(/ed), quiet woman is that men think we are mysterious and interesting. But when they start to know us they realize we are boring common women and we don't have some different, weird, strange secret, we are just that: serious, depressing and quiet. When they understand this, they ghost.
Maybe that's why we think about death so much. It's better than to keep thinking how inadequate we are to be romantic loved

he clearly wanted to spend his bday with the star wars chick

Surprised to see Jim Sarbh here ✌️❤️

that was so good omg wow

I have never felt more connected to someone then watching this. I have never seen another redhead with blonde eyelashes and eyebrows, that is also funny and thinks about dying at every moment.

I think about it everyday, every other thought, sometimes one right after the other. All I need is one person to show me this kind of care.

I'm tired of being Robert

"A human being can survive almost anything, as long as they can see the end in sight. But depression is so insidious, and it compounds daily, that its impossible to ever see the end."
- Elizabeth Wurtzel

Great movie. But I think this hardly happens in real life. Which guy in 2022 would be attracted to a sad, mute woman? My depressed self would sabotage every love attempt anyone made towards me, because I'd think they're just acting nice out of pity.

This is beautiful

This was a very beautiful film

Wow! Great acting. I want to hug Fran until she relaxes into herself.

Thank you for making this film. You don't know what it means to me

I understand what's it's like to be shy and socially awkward. This film captures that brilliantly. It also shows that sometimes there IS a person out there for us that sees what others overlook. Robert was very sweet and kind. I was so happy they found eachother.

I wonder where he's taking me, maybe he wants to kill me, maybe he knows how much I want to be killed.
I just finished watching the movie, the scenario was really good. we can't actually control our thoughts.

Wow! ..

Calling all pedophiles
Sterling Gray Van Wagenen friends need your kids. He wasnt the only one. Sundance the home of pedophilia. I bet those kids molested wanted to die as well

I have a rope in my car. There are 7 oak trees at my work. I often look for the right branch...the one under the Boulder would do just fine...I have children. And dogs. They all need me...still. I look for the right branch.

Her thoughts "does he want to kill me?", "does he know how much I want to be killed?" hit me. I want someone to kill me too, because I don't have the guts to do it myself.
Yeah, I know- I'm attention w*ore, coward, hysteric... I know, I know...

this movie feels like how the last 3 months have felt like. ive been in a terrible depressive episode and i find it so difficult to engage w others and even reply to them whenever they talk to me. but at the same time there was this girl that was interested in me which i kept pushing away thinking that id deal w her after i got a little btter from my episode, which of course never happened cuz things only keep getting worse. theres no point to this story. it just goes to show that things dont really happen like in this short unfortunately. when you have depression its easy to ruin a lot of good things for yourself without even realising. then the bad things just keep piling up and its like youre buried underneath all of the things you hate abt yourself and cant seem to get on the surface. ppl dont really care fore you when you have depression especially if your depression makes you kinda quiet. they take ur unwillingness to talk and engage w them so personally like im over here trying not to kill myself chill lol👹

This movie all about "PREPOSITIONS"

If you can't find a Robert, be a Robert to others

Thank you🥺

Hello Robert, are you out there? I need help

Omg I relate to this so much

crap

Everything is accurate but that Robert part doesn't really happen.

A really interesting film

Being anxious and depressed ➕ introverted . I always think about dying

Amazing film!

I had the chance of seeing it play in sundance! And I remember it made me want to go out and make a film! I am still inspired until today about this short film, and remember seeing the two main actors and the director standing right there at the front.

If I'm not wrong they said this is a proof of concept for a bigger film. I hope they got it, but all I know is that this film taught me and showed me what an amazing short film is, and I now got short film going around in festivals!

I met a girl once at a midnight party in the woods…she just watched it all from behind a tree on the periphery. I kept watching her watching the fire and people and me…the dancing flickering shadows on her face. I came over to her and asked if she would like to talk for a bit…she took me to her old car on the edge of the field and opened the door. Her car was filled with old books, of all shapes and sizes and colors and thicknesses, every nook and cranny was filled with words and dust.
We never spoke, yet I have never felt closer to anyone since, in that tonight of flickering shadows and books.

i wonder what mental disorder she has, this was a great experience tho

“What do you do apart from work?”
“I don’t really do anything” this is me 😭

jim sarbh is simply amazing

Amazing.

I wish to ask if it’s ok to paste this short on my channel. I wish to translate it to Arabic. And I care about copy rights. So, is it ok?

Thanks in advance

Superb!

I wish I meet the female equivalent of Robert ..
