John Taylor Timmons tackles the tough subject of depression and gives us a compelling look without glamorizing it. He tells this story in a non-traditional way, while Patrick Saxon's August draws us into his world and dares us to look away.

Tense watch but well worth it. The filming rivals that of a big budget film, I really enjoyed the up close personal shots that really set this film apart. The storyline is passionate but dark.

It's an awesome watch can't wait to see more by John Timmons.

Beautifully shot and wonderfully written. This film accurately and insightfully portrays the viewpoint of someone with severe depression. While tense, it's incredibly moving. Highly recommend.

A great cinematic work on the final hours of suffering artist! Mr. Timmons directs this wonderfully talented cast to raw, unfiltered moments only achieved by true artistic collaboration.

Superb acting by each primary character! The big name is, William Mark McCollough, but his co-stars each brought A-game to this film, too. Super impressive. John Taylor Timmons masterfully keeps the viewer engaged from start to finish, while also pulling off big production feel from an independent feature. If you're a fan of the city of Savannah, the setting of the story, you'll also enjoy the integration of its qualities into the cinematography.

The story, based on real events, may trigger individuals that have suffered similar tragedy within their own families, so I'd consider that before watching. However, the presentation is an excellent deep dive into the psychology of depression and its potential ramifications. Highly recommend this film as both quality entertainment, as well as a tool for enlightenment on such a widespread issue in our society.
