Not just a study of depression/suicide, 18 August 2003
Author: Jim Sorrells (redemp@sonic.net) from Guerneville, California

This film belongs with others like URBANIA which question how we know reality. The central figure videotapes his life and only in the viewing of his tapes does his life become real. Although never explored, there is the implication that since he might edit the tape, he could edit reality. I would really love to have a good copy of this film if possible.
