Director Statement

I see THE LIBRARY SUICIDES as an edge-of-your-seat thriller with girls with guns threatening the calm of the library. Dark vaults preserving the treasures of the past are the setting for frantic chases and misfired shots in the dark. Aberystwyth (on the west coast of Wales), the end-of-the-line town plays host for such a strange tale; a place where this story could almost be true.
