The Story in Brief:
Written and Directed by Danny Gevirtz: ‘I think I’m sick’ takes places in 2012 in the Philly-subrban town of Lansdale, PA.
Will is an 18 year old boy who’s been swallowed whole by depression his entire life. He lives day by day, feeling trapped on a treadmill full of sh*t.
6 months after his attempted suicide, the film follows Will through his second chance at Senior Year.
Instead of being filled with ‘gratefulnness’ for his ‘rebirth’, Will fails to see the significance of this second life opportunity and resorts to the ideation that a second attempt of suicide is his only option.
Will is brought under by Coach A, a man with moxie, who convinces Will to join the misfits of the Cross Country team.
There, he meets the rest of the XC boys, but also meets Robin, the best female cross country runner in the state. Weary of every human particle floating about the universe, Robin uses wit and talent to mask her own struggles with an eating disorder.
“The freaks can always pick each other out of a crowd” as Will and Robin’s relationship develops. They decide to band together.
Ultimately, the same mental health struggles that bring them together is what tears them apart.
Though the journey is not perfect, Will’s new community and experiences help him discover his inner strength and intrinsic worth, which ultimately leads him to continue giving life another chance.
Directional Tone and Cinematography influenced by Manchester by the Sea, Columbus, and The End of the F**king World.
