Create a sound portrait of someone you love. While the cinematic portraiture in this film is stunning, the audio recordings of Thomas’s singing and stream-of-consciousness soliloquies were just as revealing as the visual portraits. Therefore, use your phone to record a loved one speaking, singing, carrying on with their day. At a later moment, listen to the audio recording together and discuss.

ABOUT THE UNLONELY PROJECT
The UnLonely Project broadens public awareness of the negative physical and mental health consequences of loneliness while also promoting creative arts-based approaches to reduce the burden. Click here for mental health resources.
Very sad to see how a man who served this country only returns to be left behind, ill & living with nothing. My assumption is that Thomas wouldn’t want mental health screening or help as he probably thinks his life is what it is.
Thomas is an awesome human being and I have enjoyed plenty of conversations with him. It’s amazing to hear of his story and I had to find this out on my own!
