Suicide Prevention Scotland – What I want you to know
Sep 2026
Narrative
“What I Want You to Know” is a 30-minute documentary from Suicide Prevention Scotland, telling the story of Phil Wanless and his son Fraser, who died by suicide in 2021. The film explores trauma, relationships, substance use and isolation through Phil’s experience of looking back and beginning to understand what Fraser was carrying.
I worked closely with Phil throughout the production, filming with him over five days and helping shape his story into a film that felt honest and personal. We created the film from start to finish in just eight weeks. The result is a deeply personal story that has reach almost 1 million impressions across social and paid media.
