In this PSA for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, we see a man’s life unfold in reverse back to a pivotal juncture when he considers suicide. Keeping his firearm under lock and key, though, gave him a moment to stop and think, averting tragedy and enabling him to move forward to the positive developments we saw him experience in a fulfilling life.
The Fackrell Brothers (twins Matthew and Nathan) directed “Pivot Point” via their production house Fackrell Brothers for agency Reingold Associates. The spot is part of a campaign crafted to help vets who are struggling with PTSD and mental health issues.
