Screenplay, Direction, Production, Cinematography, Editing and Sound by Mark S. Meritt. This narrative short motion picture was produced for a course in filmmaking with filmmaker Marilyn Rivchin at Cornell University during Mark's undergraduate studies. A fake public service announcement, it comments satirically on the problem of overpopulation, a subject Mark would work a great deal more on in the future. The short was produced on 16mm, silent with separate soundtrack. The video was created by projecting the film on a wall and playing the soundtrack on a stereo system while recording with a VHS camcorder. The digital video was captured by Allan Meritt in January 2007 and posted by Mark on YouTube on January 22, 2007. More info, including script to read along: http://potluck.com/1992/02/suicide-psa/
