True story of a man searching: drugs, depression and suicide.
-
Inspiring pod, I wonder how smoking pot and reading the bible helped? I liked the idea, but that part was lost on me...
Please check out our pod "me and medical marijuana" about how medical marijuana helped me find peace...not Jesus though. -
amazing
-
Wow! This is miraculous and real. More of this please.

This was a powerful story of how God can intervene in someone's life by bringing them out of despair and hopelessness into a life filled with new hope.
-
It's great how much mileage you get out of one confession for almost 6 minutes. He's very charismatic and the b-roll is very good. I think it needs a stronger resolution though. Something that really epitomizes the change that has taken place in his life more then just a quote. We need something visually powerful. What do you think?

It is too long. The depression stuff for the first 3-4 minutes sort of drags and doesn't quite climax. The pot and Jesus thing is kind of cool. Maybe if you can tell more of that. If you have more from the interview. And the ending isn't strong. You need some way to end it. Good camera work, lighting, b-roll, audio and good storytelling. make it about 4 minutes and it's be pretty powerful.

Great story about the power of Jesus to transform a life.
-
Great pod -- very moving and inspiring. I would give the Jesus part of the narrative more airtime. Explore how this man's life has changed. What's he doing with his life now? This has a shot at being a lifesaving piece, but it needs more...oomph.
Good luck!-

Great piece, rad story. Such a heavy untouched topic.
-
wwooowww! Such awesome truth! PRAISE THE LORD AND GLORY TO GOD!
-
I'd take this over Paxel, Zoloft or Prozac any day.
This is a really great story of inner transformation and the power of spiritual food in a day of famine. -
Yes, yes, yes. That was really good. Isaiah 54 has totally nailed me too man.-
For your Maker is your husband the LORD Almighty is his name the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is called the God of all the earth.
The LORD will call you back as if you were a wife
deserted and distressed in spirit a wife who married young, only to be rejected," says your God. For a brief moment I abandoned you,
but with deep compassion I will bring you back.
-It's that promise of redemption at the end. "I will bring you back," That's the heart of God. GL. link -
ahhhhhh pot changed my life too!!!!
-
You've got amazing shots, colour, b-roll, and you've got an artistic ability that filters through. GL from me for the depths of shots, including apples, rooftops, and some amazing ideal pauses in the testimony. My only suggestions would be of what has already been said, shorten this to 4 minutes, and I too, would like to see what this dude is doing now.
I appreciate your style. Tell the story! Keep it up!

Earnest story of spiritual awakening... About technique: I liked black and white presentation of passed. Made with simple but definitely "doing the job" approaches. Good film. GL

Good story
-
nice story and glad you got a grip your depression,
however, the Jesus thing is a bit overrated IMHO
Is there no other answer to your introspection than some hyped upped preacher and a book of fables?-

This is a very impacting story, with a strong testimonial of the many directions you can take in life. Ultimately, we all have free will to choose what we think is best for us. I am glad he chose to live. Very good message, and nicely put together in all aspects of the production. GL from me.
When you have a moment, please take a look at the message behind my pod BIG BUGS , and let me know what you think about this reverse perspective on the world. Thanks!

Check out my Prius VCAM sometime "Go Far". Rock On! -
Amen! I understand completely and strong believe this should be aired. The Proverbs are a good read too.
-
Although I believe otherwise and don't buy Christianity, I have givin this my greenlight simply because it is ready for T.V. whether it be the truth or not, I believe this should be aired. It is up to the people to believe.
I respect you for finding the strength to come out of the stage, but I suggest that you study and find more logical reason. I am a Muslim, yep. As a Christian you are the closest of any other religion to Islam, like brothers.
I don't want to go any more off topic than I already have but you should learn about Islam, if you believe you are on the truth, then you have nothing to lose. -
that's heavy stuff man. i couldn't imagine that life. thank you sharing this. people need to know. please review my latest VCAM and share a comment. GREENLIGHT!
