BOY ON BILLBOARD

On October 1, 2010, James Apple, died of accidental suicide due to an undiagnosed mental illness, the day after his 24th birthday. Six months prior he had climbed to the top of a billboard in downtown Fort Worth. For seven hours he paced back and forth, sat and stood, threatened to jump, and conducted an orchestra he saw in his mind. The family stood in a trailer watching while the police and rescue team tried to coax him down.

Boy on Billboard aims to provide hope, healing, and a call to action in a gripping, true story about James Apple and troubles that went unseen.
