I dont know if there was pressure during this time by Lobbyists to stop the FDA investigations, Congressional investigations.

As far the film, we have been under the radar. Have you seen our one sheet?

I think Victor’s life is a public service announcement talking to over 350,000 people a year, mostly kids giving them the information they need to be able to make a decision with the facts.

It was a very chilling moment for journalism and in fact we have the journalist and producer involved in that “Day One” story in our film. It showed how much influence the tobacco companies had or have. They were successful in shutting down that particular show, but it was too late, the story was out.

Victor has only decided to work in the United States because this is where he lives. We are working on showing the film internationally and have had some interest abroad.

In fact, we are working with the 15th World conference on tobacco or health in Singapore to show the film there next year.

Please goto our website addictionincorporated.com and tell your friends about it. And keep checking the site because if we haven’t booked your city, we may.

We are not, we did try for a few of the large ones, but the film wasn’t in the shape it is now. We may still try to show in festivals in Europe out of competition because there is an interest there as well.

The film has been well received by the audiences in NY, SF and LA where we have shown. It’s interesting how much people don’t know or do know, but didn’t piece together the way we have, for them, in this film. Everyone knows someone who smokes or smokes themselves, so it’s gotten great attention and promotion from those who have seen it. People leave the theater wanting to know more and share it with friends.

We have made a few small yet important changes that make the film flow better than during that initial screening. However, the story that was there is the same story that is there now.

We did apply and unfortunately did not make the short list this year.

We also are working with a grass roots/advocacy public relations company, Young Communications group out of Los Angeles, to bring together the different organizations and communities to come out and support the film. You can goto our website, addictionincorporated.com to see where we will be playing as more cities will be added.

We actually used 3 animation companies for all the animations. Cartoon Saloon in Ireland, AniBoom out of Israel and StudioNYC in New York.

He’s such an amazing speaker. He gets their attention so well because he respects them and their decision, it works. By the end of it, they know so much more than when they walked in and are empowered to make better choices.

I used to smoke, socially, but quit while making this movie. I never was an avid smoker, never everyday, I guess I was one of the lucky ones that never got addicted really. But then again I also started smoking after the age of 18.

Thanks for having us. I wanted to know what god firedoglake.com interested in in the film that brought us here today?

Thanks for having us, good to be here tonight

Good evening Greg.
Interesting, addiction automatically pointed you to drug rehab. Well, cigarettes are a drug, nicotine is a drug.

Hi everyone, whoever is out there. Thanks for stopping by, we’re all here now
