I began the inevitable process of losing my Christian faith in my late teen years. Soon after this, my lifelong struggle with depression was at its peak. During this suicidal time, I set out on the journey of writing what would become my first feature film, which was later titled All Too Human. Initially, it was an escape wherein I fantasized that I could kill myself with little to no repercussions. It turned out that life wasn’t that simple. I actually had to face some harsh truths about reality that the religion I had been a part of kept from me – there is no cosmic purpose, no metaphysical solution to my material problems, no supernatural entity looking out for me. These insights revealed new opportunities: self-reliance, self-derived meaning and general possibility yet unknown. I also learned just how psychologically destructive the ideology I grew up with really was. The film eventually turned out to be an exploration of how credulity, dogma and religious ideology negatively effect those who suffer from depression, especially as they search for meaning. Overcoming depression and suicidal ideation requires tremendous and arduous work, and being honest about the nature of reality while overcoming these hardships is the focus of my somewhat metaphorical and semiautobiographical film.
