About me: "...on the simplest level "The Suicide" is a tale of the victory of love and spirit over ego and superficiality--of compassion over material obsession; about purity in the face of death and the salvation of love. Jeff Markey, a remarkable actor, is superb in this tale-- based on Bukowski's short story--as he breaks our notions of what is cool in our advertising/media dominated world and what is expected of beauty and discovers something within himself, he never knew he had. His discovery brings us to tears. All the more remarkable because Markey directed and wrote the piece as well. One of the most moving and excellent short films to come along in a long time--and when it is most needed as this world degenerates into surface, posing, materialism and hatred... a flower grows."

HELLO MY FRIEND THNX 4 THE FRIENDSHIP YOUR FILM BROUGHT ME TO TEARS FILLED ME WITH OPTIMISM-REALY WELL DONE HOPE ONE DAY MABY WE CAN WORK TOGETER CHEACK OUT MY T.V WORK BLESSINGS
Yes, very interesting. Some really good acting scenes, some slow but still - for my taste - not French-noir enough. But that's relative anyway. Nice adaption of the story. Great pics - good luck!!!! Frances
Great short! I'm a huge Bukowski fan, but I wasn't familiar with the short story this film is based on. So many people paint a portrait of him as this hard-ass womanizing drinker - so it's great when people explore his great empathy for humanity, like this piece does. Thanks for making it.
This is a very cool little short. I loved the closing scene. It was totally the opposite of what I was expecting. You ever notice that when you are feeling the most cynical there is always something to pull you back and save you from the numbness? Yeah me neither... But every once in a while... something small and beautiful is enough to inspire me.
Thanks for the add.I'm glad you came at a time when I ,myself have thoughts and plans...these thoughts are still in my head.I'm hoping in time,these feelings will go away?I did infact enjoyed the clip.Excellant!!
Thanks for the add. From a slightly fat chick, I understood those feelings from long ago. When you find that special man, who loves you for you and not what you look like, life is so much better...
It meant alot to see that this guy really take a step back and think about his actions and was honest with himself and his emotions.
You are a truly talented person and again, thanks for the thoughtfulness to all those of us who are not what society thinks a person should be, or at least weigh....
