Aaron Childress is a man who has faced a significant challenge in his life and has chosen to share his story with others. After being found after attempting to take his own life, Aaron realized the importance of bringing mental health issues to light, expressing his story in a more meaningful way.
This inspired Aaron to set out on an ambitious project to tell his story in a few ways: a book about his research process entitled, “These Thousands of Days: This is What I Learned After I Killed Myself.” which is due for release at the end of January 2023. Followed by an autobiography titled “Burning Fields,” a biopic called “0 Seconds,” set for release in the coming months into 2024.
The goal of this project was to reach out to those who may be grappling with similar issues and provide them with the knowledge Aaron has acquired throughout his journey. This message carries even greater importance as suicides continue to plague the nation without signs of abating. By communicating with other media outlets, Aaron hopes to spread awareness of the causes and prevention methods for suicide.
In order for people to fully understand the message he wishes to send, Aaron will also be giving keynote speeches at universities on mental health topics. The first of which is on February 16th, 2023 at Wichita State University. Through these speaking engagements, he aims to show people how powerful their mind can be, providing scientific evidence that backs up this statement.
He will draw upon examples from both personal stories and popular culture, in order to drive home the point he is trying to convey.
The way in which Aaron shares his personal experience, brings both a chilling reality and a redeeming grace.” – Director Mark Gould.
“I had no idea of the journey to hell and back that he had been through” – Producer Richard Hocutt
Aaron Childress wishes for this series of projects – his books, film, speeches, and workshops – to create a national dialogue surrounding suicide prevention. By understanding what led him down this path, he hopes that those facing similar struggles can find comfort in knowing that they are not alone and there are resources out there for them should they choose to seek it out.
