Director Adriana Marchione @adrianamarchione embarked on making a film seven years ago to explore the role of creativity in recovery not knowing where it would take her. Then Producer Dianne Griffin @diannegriff and an incredible film team (including many in recovery) came on board for an exhilarating and arduous journey that is the making of a documentary film. A true labor of love, The Creative High has connected us to so many devoted people who do recovery advocacy and support the arts in recovery such as @jjgardner9 Jeremiah Gardner, Christopher Tait @casperthistle and Patsy Dolan Bouressa who have joined forces with their organizations to Kick off #NationalRecoveryMonth with a FREE screening of The Creative High! The film won’t be publicly available for a while so this is a special opportunity. Join Passenger Recovery @passengerrecovery from Detroit, MI, Minneapolis/St. Paul-based Dissonance @itsdissonance, and Austin, Texas-based The SIMS Foundation @simsfoundation for an exclusive online screening and discussion of the film. Our award-winning documentary profiles nine exceptional artists in recovery from addiction who are transformed by creativity in the search for identity and freedom. This is a FREE 2-part event: 1) Watch the film during a 48-hr window from 8/31 to 9/2 2) Attend the live online panel event on Thursday, 9/1 at 5PM Pacific, 8PM Eastern. The panel will include the filmmakers, artist subjects Peter Griggs @u_phoria and Wes Geer @wesgeer of @rocktorecovery as well as arts recovery specialists. Don’t miss it! Hope to see you there!
