The Angel With A Crystal Necklace

The film is something of a blend between Pink Floyd the wall (the movie), meets Romeo and Juliet but on pain pills. It’s ultimately a hybrid between a live action film and an animation, and the animation side is a glimpse into the subconscious psychosis of our drug addicted lead character. Not only is this story relatively pioneering in regards to its visual aspect, but also extremely relevant in regards to the opioid epidemic the US faces currently. According to the CDC, roughly 80,000 people in the United States alone died from opioid overdoses just this past year, in which more than half those deaths were attributed to pain medication. And with the rather recent introduction of fentanyl, its only made matters worse. As sobering these facts are, big pharmaceutical companies supplying these hard drugs aren’t taking bolder steps in trying to help shift the curve this addiction problem truly is. It seems now days pain pills are becoming more easy to get, and don’t tend to have the stigma most street drugs have, such as heroin or meth, but are just as addictive and deadly. As a filmmaker creating stories that entertain, enlighten and educate is a major aim of mine. And in the end, it would be a real blessing if this film could actually change some lives for the better.
