Feature Documentary:
Picture Proof, 2023 is a documentary that examines the intergenerational impact of addiction by chronicling the love, labor, loss, and uncertainty of one woman’s struggle to live a life of sobriety. Weaving together moments of glee, fulfillment, acceptance, sorrow, and disappointment, the film takes an intimate look at the bonds that hold one family together and a disease that threatens to tear them apart.
Short Documentaries:
Patchwork, 2022
Patchwork is a short documentary that examines the social, psychological, and material impact of the opioid epidemic in West Virginia by following people on the ground – the advocates, social workers, leaders, and health professionals trying to address the crisis and stories of families moving through the disjointed systems. Without governmental investments and political will–individuals, families, and advocates struggle to fill the gaps in a broken system. This individual and community labor represent a patchwork of collective effort and toil. Patchwork was invited to screen as the Movies that Matter Monday for the month of March at the Flora LeeHark Cohen cinema.
