In this episode I talk with award winning producer, director and writer Molly Hermann about her new documentary “WRITTEN OFF: The Short, Sad, Beautiful Life of Matt Edwards”. This film is the story of Matt Edwards, a man from the Northwoods of Wisconsin that never made it out of the cycle of opiate addiction, told through his private journals. Sometimes, when a tragic event happens, a positive change can occur. Out of this tragedy Molly Hermann and the Biscuit Factory are raising awareness about the growing opiate problem in the United States. One death is a tragedy, a thousand is a statistic. This film helps personalize the current opiate epidemic and makes Matt’s story not just another statistic. Please listen in to learn more about Matt Edwards, addiction, Molly Hermann and making a documentary on opiate addiction.
