The film was produced with a lot of local talent from Sault Ste. Marie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re grateful to have our film selected at a festival dedicated to mental health issues\u2026 and to have it screened during Mental Health Month \u2013 even better!\u201d stated Billy Greer, Producer of the doc which has connections to Toronto, Hamilton area, and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary highlights Sean\u2019s nearly fatal encounter on July 26, 2017, with Canadian serial killer, Bruce McArthur. The first thing Sean said to McArthur when he got into his vehicle that day is also the shocking question used at the end of the movie trailer\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDid you hear there\u2019s a serial killer in the neighbourhood?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no manual for dealing with this \u2013 I\u2019ve had to work through the survivor\u2019s guilt of living, knowing the horrific fate of the eight victims\u2026 I always go back to the victims,\u201d says Cribbin, who has also had to cope with outwardly hateful headlines suggesting McArthur should have finished the job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reception from film festivals, both at home and internationally, has been very overwhelming. Podcasts from Canada, USA, Australia, and India have really helped promote the film and get Sean\u2019s message out there, we are especially grateful considering the pandemic restrictions.\u201d Tami Rydall, Executive Producer. Australia, France, Italy, UK, Indonesia, India, Turkey, Germany, Prague, USA, and Canada are among the countries who have awarded the documentary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Was I Next?&#8217; has won 106 awards to date, including 8 Awards of Excellence, several Honourable Mentions in addition to 5 festival screenings from Salt Lake City, Manhattan, Paris, Bali, and Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>The film earned an Outstanding Excellence Award for Feature Documentary (Human Spirit Award) from DOCs Without Borders Film Festival (Nassau, Delaware). Other awards include Best Documentary, LGBTQ Feature, Original Story, Original Score (all the music ideas created by Sean\u2019s partner, Steven Sauder), Cinematography, Editing, Director, Producer, Poster, and Best Trailer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was an amazing experience to be involved in such a talented and creative group, showcasing talents from right here in Northern Ontario. Congratulations to Tami, Billy, Craig, and the entire team for making this possible\u201d said, Bruce Clement, President, Superior Media ONNtv.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe wanted to put the humanity back into an otherwise gruesome story\u2026 it\u2019s more than just a story to us, this is Sean\u2019s life,\u201d says Greer, when asked about what they wanted to accomplish. For the iCogitate team, \u201cSean\u2019s healing was paramount, respecting and honouring the eight victims without sensationalizing the serial killer was a balancing act \u2013 we definitely had an obligation to connect all the dots, we just didn\u2019t have to put a spotlight on them!\u201d Craig Huckerby, the film\u2019s director added.<\/p>\n<p>TO VIEW THE WORLD PREMIERE ON MAY 25th, 9PM EST\u00a0 GO <a href=\"https:\/\/mentalhealthyfit.org\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"gsmfab gsmfab-3\">\n<div class=\"gsmfab-single asmfab-415\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; An award-winning documentary will have its world premiere screening later this month will give viewers around the world a chance to watch it.
