Aaron Biebert, the Director of A Billion Lives, will curate the festival. Aaron says:

"Reversing propaganda and fear tactics will take more than a single movie. It will take a community of educators, leaders, and influencers who are educated and excited. A film festival focused on tobacco harm reduction will make a huge impact by inspiring filmmakers to take up the cause and help get the truth in front of the public. I am delighted to be leading this effort and believe that together we can make a difference."

I'm proud to announce that I'll be curating a new film festival at the Global Forum on Nicotine this year in Warsaw.

We are very thankful for the impact that A Billion Lives had around the world, but we didn't get the job done 100%. My goal for this film festival is that we can encourage and promote a wave of new short films that help tell the stories that the media is ignoring all too often. It's time to discredit the propaganda.

If you know any filmmakers (or aspiring ones), please forward this email and I'd be happy to talk with them about how they can participate.

Also, I will be at GFN again this year, so please let me know if you'll be there. I'd love to say hi.

Talk soon,

Aaron

13 Countries + 14 Mini-Films

Filming in Jerusalem this week

Here we go!

I met Dr. Derek Yach when filming some of the interviews for A Billion Lives at GFN in 2015.
Having an interview with a former Executive Director at the World Health Organization was a critical moment in making our film credible with the public.

Not only am I grateful to GFN for helping make the introduction, but I am sincerely grateful to Derek for taking time to meet with us before his big keynote speech. He was an amazing part of the movie.

We remained in touch and I continued to be amazed by his passion for helping the actual smokers, not judging, belittling, or treating them like children.
When he asked me to make a mini launch film for the new foundation he was starting to help smokers, I was all in.

If you missed it, here's the link. https://www.facebook.com/ABillionLives/v...51780324856248/

Now Derek and the Foundation for a Smoke-Free World are beginning their work and the first step was to listen and understand the situation.
They commissioned a poll of 13 countries around the world and the results are nearly finished.

I've gotten a chance to peek at some of the results and it's truly amazing how different the situation is in each country.

Derek has asking me to direct a series of 13 mini films to go with each country. In addition, we'll also be creating a global short film to tie it all together.
He plans on using them in launch events throughout the year in a comprehensive plan to start a dialogue about the current situation.

I am beyond excited!

As I announced earlier this week, I'll be leading the new harm reduction film festival at the Global Forum on Nicotine. https://gfn.net.co/2018/film-festival

The core creative team from A Billion Lives (Jimi, Jenni, and myself) are back together for this, and I plan on submitting these films to the festival.

I just got done hanging out with Dr. Farsalinos in Greece (we're here filming one of the 13), and this promises to be quite the adventure.
