In the hands of a sensitive and innovative director, even something common as an anti-drug commercial can become a good movie.  That’s what director Nico Sabenorio achieved when he took an assignment for Life After Meth.  This 6-minute mini-documentary has all the telltale signs of accomplished filmmaking: strong characters, visual craft, and a narrative structure you’d never get from a string of Facebook posts.

    Thanks for spreading the word! Recovery is possible. NS

    The director asked the right questions to evoke emotion out of the viewers so that anyone can see from Steven's story, that recovery is possible, even with one of the hardest addictions to overcome: Meth! Excellent work and great story!

  • Steven Reidhead

    Thanks Nico! For the accurate portrayal of my life!
