Independent filmmaker Lindsey Doolittle will be privately screening her award-winning short films, Faces After Suicide and Goodnight Mr. Vincent Van Gogh. Both films explore the topic of losing someone to suicide, which may be triggering to survivors. Viewer discretion is advised.

In 2015, her husband, Sgt. Brett Doolittle of the KCKPD, died by suicide at their home. People who have lost someone to suicide often not only blame themselves but are usually blamed by others. Through her art she continues to support survivors, lift the blame, and help promote forward thinking on raising awareness.

Released in 2021, both films have screened in over 15 countries at 50 different film festivals, and received 23 awards, including 14 award winners.

Following the films, there will be a Q&A and a silent auction of one of the filmmaker’s artworks. All proceeds will go back to Oasis.
