Tanya Lim committed suicide, leaving her little brother money to make a film. To bring creation from destruction, he made THE FORGE, an emotional, anti-suicide message in which a man battles his inner demon in a fight for his life.

Tomorrow, May 8th, we are proud to release the short film The Forge. Eric Lim’s sister Tanya committed suicide. To bring creation from destruction, Eric and director Stephen Reedy used money inherited from her personal savings to create a message that honors her and serves as a piece they wished she saw when she was in a dark place. It’s a message for anybody hurting. 

Together, they assembled a team of friends and strangers-turned-family to create The Forge, an endeavor built for anybody hurting, preaching a message to turn destruction into creation (a concept demonstrated in the process of making the film itself).

We’re so proud to announce a partnership with The Forge Team. The Forge is a short film with a message for anybody hurting. Learn more athttp://www.foranybodyhurting.com/ and stay tuned for the video on Wednesday!
