About this episode

Director: Schellie Rothi @ www.taltosvideo.com Credits: (c) 2007 Blindsidemusic,llc Written by: DW Borro JG Borro R Bodnar www.dwborro.com Video Produced by Schellie Rothi @ Taltos Video Productions www.taltosvideo.com Special thanks to Mike, Darla, Randy, Cathy , and the guys at L'auberge in Sedona. Description: His well-constructed lyrics tell such a compelling story of shared experience that filmmaker Schelli Rothi (Taltos Video) is able to convey its message using beautifully sparse images. In one striking scene, Borro’s character kneels in front of a fireplace, feeding photos into the flames. Pill bottles and a photo of a woman lie on the hearth, and he rests his chin in his hand. A tight shot follows: he is removing his wedding band. Even without hearing the music and lyrics, you empathize with the character in the story, and when the ring—thrown over the edge of a cliff—strikes a rock below, the circle is complete. The reason the collaboration between Borro and Rothi works so well is because he is a songwriter and storyteller with sense for beginning, middle and end—and his word-images are so evocative that they translate easily to the screen. That’s reason enough to give “Slow Suicide” and the four other tracks on his new CD, Slow Suicide, a listen. When you add Borro’s guitar work and strong, soulful voice, you get the full impact of what he brings to the table for listeners.
