We're showing the process, but we're not trying to belittle the audience. We're not trying to tell the story. We're trying to tell the solution. And that doesn't help anyone.
What happens when film students take on the monumental task of portraying addiction in a way that's raw, honest, and far from preachy? In this episode of 'Voices in Recovery', Lucas and North, along with Ashley in the background, join host David Lewry to discuss their ambitious episodic series about addiction. These talented students from SAIT are not just creating a show; they're on a mission to change how we talk about addiction and recovery.
Their series, tentatively titled 'Bus Stop', dives deep into the aftermath of loss and the slow, often painful progression of addiction. Through their storytelling, they aim to offer a realistic portrayal that many can relate to, without sugar-coating the tough parts. Lucas and North's dedication is palpable as they share their vision of providing fair compensation and relevant experience to everyone involved in the project.
They believe in the power of collaborative storytelling and are eager to engage a broad audience through weekly online releases. Their hope is to spark open, honest conversations about addiction and recovery, making their series a beacon of hope and understanding. Whether you're in recovery yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the complexities of addiction, this episode offers a fresh perspective that's both inspiring and thought-provoking.
