About the Project

The documentary unfolds as a tribute to Jacob, creatively known as Hella Sketchy, a talented young artist whose life was tragically cut short. Through interviews with friends, family, and collaborators, the film paints a vivid portrait of Jacob's journey, both as an artist and as a young person grappling with his inner demons. It showcases his immense talent, dedication to music, and the impact he made on those who knew him.

However, "Two Week's Notice" transcends being a mere biography. It courageously confronts the stigmatized issues of mental health and substance abuse. Jacob's struggle with these issues is explored with sensitivity, shedding light on the difficulties he faced and the inadequacies of the support systems available to him. By doing so, the documentary aims to destigmatize these topics, fostering understanding and empathy among viewers.
