Three Notre Dame seniors; Katie Mattie '14, Vincent Moore '14 and Will Neal '14 --
(photo above of them walking the "red carpet" in Hollywood) took first place for the Short Documentary category at the Sunset International Film Festival for their film "The Suicide Disease."
This is a pretty big deal.
The film tells the story of Frances Shavers -- a former chief of staff for Fr. John Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame -- who suffers from Trigeminal Neuralgia, considered "one of the most painful experiences in the human experience."
Frances was brave enough to allow these three Notre Dame students to tell her story in this sixteen-minute film.
This is MUST SEE -- France Shavers is an inspiration...
