Face 2 Face

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!

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.

Was touched by this movie's ability to shed light on a number of dimensions of the human spirit (and experience) by exploring new relationships and how deep a stranger can go in connecting with strangers.....depression, anxiety, travel, work, and social media are also elements woven into this story. A must-see for anyone who has a curious mind and/or is questioning their role on this planet. These experiences are in front of us everyday if we just look for them....special and unique experiences with individuals we knew (or hardly know) can lead to more interesting life lessons being learned, new friendships developed, new connections/networks to connect people to, and eye-opening experiences in general.

Face 2 Face is something raw and real. Director Katherine Brooks throws the Hollywood rule book out of the window and makes a true meaningful movie. You will see things that will make you smile, you will see things that make you laugh, you will even see things that make you question if you are truly living your life. There is no sugar coating anything in this film. There is no script, no cue cards. Just people and a camera. The movie discusses problems society is to afraid to bring up. I recommend everyone check out this movie. You will laugh, and you will cry. Katherine Brooks does not hold back and because of that something wonderful was put out there. I've never seen anything like Face 2 Face before. I can't praise it enough. Go see it!!!
