Behind the Scenes of Clean Slate: A Story of Recovery and Filmmaking

We spent Five Plus Years making a movie that you can all watch in an hour and a half, and I hope that that's a gift, that I hope that in an hour and a half you can have some of the things that you've said, that you've seen and thought and felt- and I'm different and you'll be different, but you didn't have to do Five Years of work to make it exist.
What happens when the worlds of filmmaking and addiction recovery collide? In this episode of The Addicted Mind Podcast, host Duane Osterlind sits down with Jared Callahan, the award-winning director behind the documentary 'Clean Slate'. This film provides an unfiltered look into the lives of two individuals, Cassidy and Josh, as they navigate their rehab journey while making a short film. It's a story of resilience, creativity, and the fight against the opioid epidemic.
Jared spent 18 months in a recovery facility, becoming deeply involved in the lives of those he was filming. His hope is that 'Clean Slate' will change how people view addiction, fostering empathy and understanding instead of judgment. This episode offers listeners a unique perspective on the challenges of recovery and the power of storytelling.
