In recognition of National Suicide Prevention Month, The Tribes Project is proud to present a screening of the short film Tales of Harsh Gruder. Join us September 13th at the Northwest Film Forum for a late afternoon of cinematic storytelling and community discussion centered around suicide awareness and prevention.
Tales of Harsh Gruder stimulates important conversations about depression, disillusionment, and suicidal thoughts without didactic heavy-handedness. The very real, often comical, complicated and sometimes contradictory actions and circumstances confronting the film's main characters provokes questions not simple answers – this is no morality play, nor an instructional video.
Tales of Harsh Gruder features the work of award winning actor Bobby Rafferty, celebrated cinematographer Chris Rejano, legendary comic book creator Tim Seeley, as well as a soundtrack filled with authentic, vintage punk rock.
Written and Directed by J.Paul Preseault, long time Artistic Director of the Seattle performance company The Tribes Project. J.Paul will be in attendance for this screening, he is very excited to be back in Seattle for this special event.
The film, co-directed and produced by John Otterbacher has played in front of very enthusiastic audiences in Chicago and throughout the Midwest.
The Tribes Project is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. tribes-project.com
Doors open at 4pm, screening starts at 4:30pm.
