Congratulations to Mike Mazur & Jason Boyer of the feature documentary, “Coming Clean”. Their film was accepted in the New York International Independent Film festival. It’s a bi-costal affair. “Coming Clean” recently screened in LA and we’ll be able to see it here in NYC in July.

Mike Mazur, co-director and editor, and I have been working together for several years. We’ve gotten to know each other pretty well. I don’t think he’ll mind me saying he has seen tragedy resulting from drug and alcohol addition. He’s seen it up close and personal. In the years I’ve know him it’s been clear he’s pulled to showing the kinds of stories highlighted in “Coming Clean”. He was torn by the moral dilemma posed by undertaking this film – and even though the ending makes for good drama, everyone involved wishes things had ended differently. I’m proud to have been affiliated with this project.

The official trailer was recently released. Enjoy! I’ll see you at the New York screening…

Filmed on the streets of Hong Kong and New York over a two year period, this is an unscripted documentary giving insight into the pain caused by drug addiction. The story is narrated and told through the eyes of a former crack addict, a middle class entrepreneur who successfully hid his addiction to crack while living and working in Asia, North America, and Europe. You will witness a search on the streets of New York and Hong Kong for an addict willing to get off the drugs, immediately enter a rehab center, fight their addiction, and try to find life after drugs… if there is one.
