CLOSURE FOLLOWS A FATHER SEARCHING FOR HIS MISSING SON IN POLAND'S VISTULA RIVER. THE FILM IS GORGEOUSLY SHOT, AND SHOWS WHAT FAMILIES GO THROUGH WHEN A LOVED ONE DISAPPEARS. THE FILM PREMIERED AT SUNDANCE, WON THE GoLDEN ALEXANDER AT THESSALONIKI, AND PICKED UP MULTIPLE AWARDS AT MILLENNIUM DOCS AGAINST GRAVITY.

I JOINED AS IMPACT PRODUCER, POSITIONING THE FILM AS A TOOL TO TALK ABOUT BELONGING, LONELINESS, THE URGE TO DISAPPEAR, AND WHAT SUPPORT LOOKS LIKE BEFORE A CRISIS.

I DESIGNED “THE MOMENT BEFORE” CAMPAIGN, INVITING AUDIENCES TO ANSWER THE QUESTION “WHEN YOU WANT TO DISAPPEAR, WHAT HELPS YOU STAY?” THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA AND AN IMPACT WEBSITE. THROUGH A PARTNERSHIP WITH GILC, EVIDENCE GATHERED WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP AN IMPACT TRAILER, SUPPORT GUIDE AND TOOLKIT. THE CAMPAIGN’S POLICY GOAL IS TO PUSH FOR THE “DISAPPEAR IMPULSE” TO BE NAMED, MEASURED AND RECOGNISED IN RESEARCH, HEALTH SURVEYS AND PRIMARY‑CARE GUIDELINES.
