ART OF SUICIDE is the story of the Whitehall loft, home and hang-out to a band of bohemians and their dreams. This eclectic group of young, starving artists struggle for success and test how far they’re willing to go and get it. It’s about the relative strength and delicacy of relationships — how far they bend, and how far they should be bent.

What people are saying…
“I really loved the story in this film and the acting was wonderful. It was refreshing to see such a great well rounded film.” ~ Miss Movie, Indie Fest
“This film was masterfully executed. Bent Brooks’ excellent direction of five unknown actors from Athens, Georgia created a slowly unfolding story of idolism, Idealism, and jealousy between five bohemians living by their wits and skills. As the five friends come together to form the White Hall Studio, emotions become complicated as some of the group has more success than others in their chosen endeavor. One is a writer, another a painter, an actor and a filmmaker and a fifth is a wild card as she first come’s on the scene straight out of Art School and becomes a bit of a muse. What transpires is a beautifully composed film orchestrated by Brooks and buoyed by intense and incredible acting from his entire cast. The cinematography was stunning as Brooks chose to create a painterly look with muted tones and splashes of color which meshed perfectly with the movie’s theme and “vibe.” The camera moves slowly and carefully with purpose and the actors movement within those frames create some well composed sequences. Some of the frames seemed to be paintings themselves and if the frames were taken and blown up, I would happily hang them on my walls. This movie is a surprising little gem with a bold and satisfactory resolution.“ ~ Pericles Lewness, Director
“Great film. I thought it would be more of an homage to a lost friend. Boy, was I surprised! It’s actually a narrative that is brilliantly directed and acted. The script stumbles a few times in it’s plausibility (I’m a plausibility nut) but the dialogue and characterizations are right on. The director and writer really found such interesting characters to watch, that I wanted to see more of them. A weekly series, perhaps. Athens rocks!” ~ Unknown, Indie Fest
“I think this film should be seen by art/theatre/music, higher-education/ AP high school students. There are themes and plot lines in this film that can be studied and I think be pulled by a screen-writer for major motion pictures. Go for it all! It’s good! It should be seen.” ~ Shane Mcdonald, artist
