This evening we'll welcome around 175 guests to Tynecastle Park for the screening of our new documentary, "What I want you to know."
The landmark film will be published on World Su***de Prevention Day (Thursday, 10 September).
It's been produced on behalf of SAMH for Su***de Prevention Scotland.
Unlike anything seen before, we explore deeply the story of Phil Wanless and his son Fraser, who died by su***de in 2021. The film includes several difficult themes including the loss of a parent, relationships, substance use and trauma.
We're incredibly grateful to Phil and his partner Debbie for welcoming us into the home, and allowing us to follow them for several days to create a deeply personal portrait of their loss.
Of course, we wish we had never needed to meet them.
Our team are also thankful to John Gibson and Iain Corbett who helped guide Phil's journey.
A new facilitation pack has also been created, which we hope will enable anyone to think about what we can learn from viewing the film.
The project has been led by Rachel who has utilised all her brilliant TV experience, and Ruaridh, our expert DOP and editor.
Heather has been a brilliant second pair of eyes, consulting throughout, as well as producing the most beautiful title treatment.
Our co-owners Lauren and Lawrence have been on hand to support the team and Phil.
The campaign will be amplified by the brilliant folks at Republic of Media, and in particular Anna and Rhona.
And huge thanks to Craig Wilson and Big Hearts Community Trust, Catriona McCallum and Graeme Pacitti for making Tynecastle available for tonight's event.
We can't do what we do without the support and belief of many, many other people. In particular, though, we'd want to thank Philip and Haylis who give us great guidance and confidence. Our wider co-production group are also just brilliant!
You can watch the documentary from Thursday at 9am via https://su***deprevention.Scot/fraser or on YouTube.
