Face 2 Face

6 months ago I discovered Director Katherine Brooks and her film, Face 2 Face, on Twitter. At that time I was not an active part of society and hadn't been years. I was battling anxiety and depression, and I was losing the battle. After seeing Face 2 Face I was inspired to get off of my couch, conquer my demons and begin to truly live my life. I am eternally grateful to Katherine for her willingness to openly share her experiences with us in Face 2 Face. If you have ever felt alone, unloved, under-appreciated or just want to be inspired you must watch this film – you will not be disappointed and you will understand why Face 2 Face is not just a movie, it is a movement!

Face2Face is the documentary by Hollywood Director Katherine Brooks. It is a travelogue of a woman who after major Surgery, Literally was isolated from actual contact, while surrounded on the internet with 5000 followers battled bouts of Depressionand eventually attempted Suicide. the survival triggered a desire to re-connect with people..the first 50 who agreed to be filmed were picked, routes made and the Doc was off.

The individuals all have stories of loss. fear, isolation and ultimately redemption. The film shows the Journey taken by so many behind closed doors. The Director discloses her personal tragedies and tries to find the answers to her questions about her values, her art, and her future without xanax.

I enjoyed the journey and felt it gave a real face to mental illness and the need to de-stigmatize the universal need for help. In the negative side we meet only a few of the 50 and i feel poorer for that.

Overall very good Documentary, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.

This film has the heart and soul of Kat Brooks right out there for all to see . In the process of her 11000+ mile trip across America to come Face2Face with some of her online friends the stories she shares touch our hearts and souls. She unfolds her difficult heart wrenching past. I cried and found parts of myself there as well. This is a film that will change everyone who sees it for the better as it reminds us we're all more alike than different. We are never alone. She discusses her near successful attempt at ending her own life. This was a very brave disclosure which she made despite advise to the contrary by her manager and lawyer. She once again proves to her fanbase that she will always be herself, honest and true. Some of the friends she meets are going through times of stress and turmoil, Kats ability to empathsize is a gift they all embrace.

I was able to see this film last night and it was amazingly touching. Kat's bravery at showing who she is and how hard the journey can be was inspirational to me. There are a lot of similarities between the feelings that she was dealing with and what I have had to deal with in my life too, and I find that so reassuring, as I'm sure it will be to anyone that has been to the depths and clawed their way back up to the light. I think that the subjects and feelings touched upon in this movie are universal and I highly recommend that everyone watch this so that we can all connect in a real way, not just a virtual way. Thank you, Kat!

This is a very inspirational touching piece of work it makes you stop and think we are all connected we all have our life stories of struggles,triumphs victory's,happiness, sadness, REAL LIFE adventures.This made me laugh made me cry and made me think we are all here for a reason. let it be. Thanks Kat for not holding back and for making this happen I always look forward to all of your ideas.
