A new initiative by the Dallas Film Commission, Screen Dallas annually awards one feature-length documentary with a week-long theatrical run, offering filmmakers a cost-free pathway to qualify for the Academy Awards. Screen Dallas will provide the services of Dr. Rebekah Smith, The Film FestivalDoctor free of charge to the selected filmmaker. This will ensure the film’s screening, marketing materials, and reporting align with the Academy of MotionPicture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) eligibility guidelines for Best DocumentaryFeature. To kick-off the initiative, Screen Dallas has selected Shuffle!!! The program will culminate in an exclusive invite-only, red-carpet screening of Shuffle at the Texas Theater on Sept 23rd. We are deeply grateful and look forward to our collaboration with Screen Dallas and the Dallas Film Commission on what will be not only an incredible opportunity for Shuffle, but a crucial avenue of support for independent filmmakers for years to come. A massive shout out to Dallas Film Commissioner Katie Schuck and her team for spearheading this new initiative.

Ya’ll, we’re coming back to Texas! Thrilled to announce our Official Selection @elpasofilmfestival September 26-28th. Screening date/time to follow. Thank you to the festival programmers and volunteers. #stoptheshuffle #documentary #documentaryfilm #doc #addictionrecovery #wedorecover #recovery #addictiontreatment #soberliving #socialimpact #advocacymatters #advocacy

Busy set of weeks ahead! Come see Shuffle. Get outraged. Addiction treatment in this country is profitable to the tune of $53 billion annually. But are people getting better? Thank you to each of these festivals for hosting and giving us the pleasure of meeting new audiences. We’re can’t wait to continue the conversation… You can help spread the word.

Some news… @objectandanimal x @vervetla @bryanbesser @mascheronimade @andystubs

Incredibly proud of the team behind @kissmygrassdoc which will be making its premiere @tribeca in June. Directed by Mary Pryor and @marathemermaid . Executive produced by Rosario Dawson, @kaepernick7 @nwhiteman @hilaryyuuuuu . Produced by @saki_mcsaki @juxtaposerrrr and myself. A co-production between @objectandanimal and @j.u.x.t.a.p.o.s.e . This film tackles the injustice for women of color in the cannabis industry and we can’t be more thrilled to share this story on this stage. Thanks to everyone involved and please keep tracking with us.

Congrats to everyone who touched this film. To the dads and daughters and the moms and people in power who allowed us to make this film happen and get to where we are today. To the producing team we will forever be bonded and our directors who led us all the way to here. We had a really rewarding award season but this for me takes the top prize. Please keep following along and join our impact campaign so our message never fades away. @natalieraerobison @sistah_angela @mindy_goldberg @kathryneverett @laura__choi @lilimazzotta @sambisbee @jamcunningham @dom________________ @dutty_pictures @objectandanimal @epoch_films @parkpictures @xtr @jmharper @magskretz @kerrywashington @lydiakives @jessseinfeld @simpsonstreetimpact @prachman @mhasinoff @adelinabichis @troyjlewis @cambio_was_here @chad_m_morris @girlsforachange @daughtersdocumentary @peabodyawards @netflix @alywalkerr @worrylesslivmoore

With gratitude and joy I am so proud of the team behind behind this film. When I was asked to join this team it was a yes immediately. Subject matter important and personal to me and a group of people whose singular focus was to draw attention to this story which would lead to change and hopefully change the stigma behind addiction. Director @benjaminflaherty is proof that you don’t need anything but a purpose to make a film that will resonate with its powerful message. “Through the lens of his own recovery, a filmmaker offers an intimate look inside the billion-dollar addiction treatment industry where young people are bought and sold for their insurance policies and ushered into a system designed to keep the sick.” The team and film took home the Grand Jury award for best documentary @sxsw which will now help us spread the message far and wide. Please follow along and join our impact campaign Big thanks to the producing team @purplebeeee @artemisfish @scottpaskoff @maydaymalloy for bringing me and @objectandanimal into the fold. If you know anyone suffering from addiction lead with compassion and surround them with love. “SHUFFLE”

And we are 4

Really proud to announce that “Shuffle” has been selected to premiere at SXSW this coming March. Thanks to the team for bringing me into this incredibly important film about recovery in America. Through the lens of our directors own recovery, he offers an intimate look inside the billion dollar addiction treatment industry where young people are bought and sold for their insurance policies and ushered into a system of care designed to keep them sick. Please follow our films festival run and impact campaign to follow. Directed by Benjamin Flaherty and produced by Carra Greenberg, Harris Fishman and Scott Paskoff. #sxsw2025
