It was so important for me to do it like a narrative like this, because you separate yourself and it's not just a documentary or an educational video where they're spitting facts at you and you're like: oh, I've heard this all before.
Imagine capturing the raw essence of addiction and recovery in just 20 minutes. That's what Erica Tamposi has achieved with her short film, 'Extended Release'. In this compelling episode of 'Miracles in Recovery', host Ray Lynch sits down with Erica, a young filmmaker from New Hampshire, to discuss the inspiration and challenges behind her poignant work.
Erica’s film takes you on an emotional rollercoaster, exploring the life of an addict and his friend, culminating in a heart-wrenching ending that mirrors the real-life struggles many face. But it's not just about the story; it's about how it's told. Erica’s approach brings a fresh, cinematic perspective that sets it apart from traditional documentaries. She opens up about the difficulties in casting and how she aimed to create authentic characters that viewers could genuinely connect with.
The episode also dives into the broader themes of addiction treatment, emphasizing a holistic approach that includes talk therapy, yoga, bodywork, and medication. Erica reflects on her personal experiences with addiction, highlighting the power of storytelling as a tool for awareness and healing. If you’re interested in how art can influence recovery or are looking for a new perspective on addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
It’s a heartfelt conversation that underscores the importance of empathy and understanding in the journey towards sobriety.
