00:00Okay, well, I'm Gilbert, and I'm doing a thesis project.
00:04I go to film school in Los Angeles.
00:07This is basically the final project of the entire education.
00:11What I want to do is find a person who is suicidal,
00:15who has actually set a date for when they're going to kill themselves
00:19and is going to go through with it,
00:21and I want to talk to them, interview them, you know,
00:24and just follow them around.
00:26I'm a documentary filmmaker looking for an individual
00:28who has decided to end their life.
00:30The project will follow this individual
00:32from first preparations to final act.
00:35Obviously finding someone who's going to do it,
00:37who's willing to talk about it and be filmed
00:39is probably going to be very difficult.
00:41Ow!
00:42There's 14 messages on here,
00:4311 of those people are people responding to the ad.
00:46I mean, is this for real?
00:48Just...
00:49So you just want me to start talking?
00:51No, I mean, if you want, you can tell me where you're from
00:56No, I wasn't born here.
00:58I have a brain tumour called a butterfly tumour.
01:02I'm dying, basically, here.
01:04I'm here right now.
01:06I might as well die here before all the pain has started.
01:10I've come to realise that I can't even talk to my husband
01:13about my true emotions.
01:15He doesn't want to hear my problems.
01:18In fact, I talk to all my dead relatives and friends.
01:22Losing a spouse is something,
01:24but losing a child, my child...
01:31What are you looking for?
01:33A suicide.
01:34Really?
01:35Yeah.
01:36What if your parents find out about this?
01:39They don't care.
01:41And we'll see.
01:43You never know what you have till it's gone, so...
01:48How important is there being an actual suicide?
01:50What if the person were to change their mind?
01:52If I saw a documentary about suicide
01:54and the whole documentary was about the person
01:56saying they were going to kill themselves
01:58and at the end they didn't,
01:59I wouldn't believe that there was any truth to what I had seen.
02:02So who do we not think is going to do about the bat?
02:04Because that's a way to eliminate this.
02:06This is just weird.
02:07This is just really weird.
02:09I mean, honestly, okay.
02:11Boring.
02:13Right?
02:14Yeah.
02:16And probably not actually going to do it.
02:20Hi, it's Gilbert from the documentary.
02:22So we've looked at a bunch of candidates
02:24and we're really excited about going forward with you,
02:27if you're still interested.
