I Made This For You, a feature film on mental health that some viewers have thanked for saving their lives, has extended its free availability until 25th October due to huge demand and Channel 4 pickup.
I Made This For You was originally released on Youtube by director Cristian Solimeno on 10th September to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. The plan was to run it for free until World Mental Health Day tomorrow. However, over the past month, Cristian has been overrun with moving comments and people getting in touch saying the film has saved their life. High profile fans include Clare Balding, who introduced it to Channel 4.
I Made This For You follows a man, played by Gary Grant (Enemy Lines), who cuts himself off from his friends and family and has recently attempted suicide. He is pulled back from the edge by a documentary made about his life by a friend, played by director Cristian Solimeno (Guilt, Rush, Footballers Wives). His friends also include Alison Newman (Eastenders, Footballers Wives) , Dermot Murphy (Animals, The Drummer and The Keeper), Francis Magee (Star Wars: Rogue One, Game of Thrones) and West End star Siobhan Dillon (Cabaret, Grease, Sunset Boulevard, Miss Saigon).
