How to Disappear Completely

A personal narrative on the feeling of inner emptiness

Doxy

In an attempt to make sense of his late father's excessive insatiability, filmmaker Marc Schmidt embarks on a personal search for the emptiness within us and himself. Why are we afraid of the void? A personal film about identity, addiction and the hardship of existence.

How to Disappear Completely is part of a documentary series on the Ten Commandments, made by DOXY Films and EOdocs.
