Imaginary Heroes
People are never who they seem to be.
Directed by Dan Harris

A dark, introspective family drama that uses suicide as a catalyst to explore grief, secrets, and the gap between public personas and private suffering.
Matt Travis is good-looking, popular, and his school's best competitive swimmer, so everyone is shocked when he inexplicably commits suicide. As the following year unfolds, each member of his family struggles to recover from the tragedy with mixed results.
