ABOUT THE PROJECT

LOGLINE
A suburban New Jersey family struggles with the death of their 19 year-old son following an overdose of heroin laced with fentanyl.

SYNOPSIS
LIFE AFTER YOU is a narrative feature film centered around a suburban New Jersey family’s struggle with the death of their 19 year-old son, following an overdose of heroin that was laced with fentanyl. The film, which explores the question of who and what is responsible for this tragedy, is inspired by the book, “Life After You: What Your Death From Drugs Leaves Behind” by Linda Lajterman. We hope our film sparks a much-needed dialogue among parents, teenagers, and officials who are in a position to address the heroin epidemic.
