Wake Up Documentary

Project Wake Up is a 501(c)3 non profit organization aiming to combat the growing suicide epidemic. Our goal is to encourage a change in the way mental illness is legislated, funded and perceived by the public. We hope to help combat the stigma surrounding mental illness and start a compassionate dialogue so that people can feel comfortable reaching out for help and will have access to care once they do.

Ryan's story is the alpha and omega of our film and is surrounded by stories of diverse Americans on the frontlines of suicide prevention. Our film chronicles the college student, the LGBTQ community, U.S. Veterans, bi-partisan suicide preventive-gun control and more with the ultimate goal of showing that this issue touches everyone in our nation.
