Our film is relating to the pressures of fame and the general chaos that surrounds anyone in the media spotlight. Many celebrities have died from drug overdoses and excessive use of alcohol. Some of the most famous are:
Jimi Hendrix
Marilyn Monroe
Bruce Lee
Elvis Presley
Keith Moon
Sid Vicious
Brittany Murphy
Heath Ledger
Anna Nicole Smith
George Best
Janis Joplin
Howard Hughes
Judy Garland
Nearly all of the people I have included in this list have died of drugs overdoses etc, but all have been hounded by the press and had their lives constantly scrutinized by the public. That is why we have decided to create a film to show how the pressures of this can be enough for people to resort to extremes and kill themselves.
