Today, we had the pleasure of spending the afternoon with talented #documentary #filmmaker, #screenwriter and advocate for #socialjustice, Beverly Baroff of Media Policy Center
⬇️Check out 🔸"Do No Harm: The Opioid Epidemic"🔸
🎞donoharmdocumentary.com
The film exposes how this catastrophic man-made public health crisis began. Filmed in the opioid epidemic ground zeros of Seattle, Kentucky and New Hampshire, the film features poignant stories from recovering addicts and families with losses; reveals the insights of leading doctors and law enforcement officers; reports the failure of drug companies to take appropriate responsibility for the crisis; traces what monies legislators have received; and focuses on those who fight back with effective, long-lasting treatment programs.
Narrated by #goldenglobe winning #actor Ed Harris.
Media Policy's next film "Our Kids" will tackle the inequity and opportunity gap that's hitting every pocket of America and being passed down from generation to generation with seemingly no end in sight.
As filmmakers, we were reminded today: Be brave. Show and tell the truth.

Tell your story, with us. Media Consulting & Production Services ====>http://bit.ly/MME_2017 Our client had just completed his first novel, "The Afterliving". A modern day take on vampirism that upends the genre by planting its roots in Christianity. We were given the challenge of producing an evocative promo that blends iconic, Christian imagery, slices of classic folklore and the book's very setting, modern day England. Think "The Da Vinci Code" meets "Interview with the Vampire". By incorporating the author himself in picture and voice over, and elevating the tension with a pulsating sound design, we served both New Adult and crossover audiences.

"Embrace of the Serpent" EL ABRAZO DE LA SERPIENTE has garnered over twenty awards since the film’s release in 2015, including a 2016 Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film. The Columbian adventure drama has rocketed to the top of both critics and audiences “must see” lists with its mind-bending visuals and life-altering portrayal of the Amazon jungle, casting a much needed light on the ravages of colonialism and mankind’s modern efforts to destroy the planet. In MME’s exclusive third interview with the film’s star Brionne Davis, the actor reveals how his cinematic journey into the jungle was borne from his own real-life experiences; and how intuition and instinct shaped his life’s purpose. Plus, Brionne gives practical advice on how to become an actor and prepare for Hollywood and – more importantly – avoid the trappings of negativity from one’s own mind. As the actor also states, “being of service” and bettering humanity is everyone’s mission, a belief Brionne holds very close to his heart. After chronicling his early career triumphs and personal setbacks, and taking viewers along his “hero’s journey” of the film’s production, Brionne gives one of his most riveting and powerful interviews on the topic of how to become an actor and pin points the two important issues that will move anyone to action: Finding purpose and giving back. Brionne Davis is just getting started as he pays it forward at Jodie Lynne Panek's Acting UP Network located in Burbank, California. If you’re seeking out how to become an actor, this is the destination for you. Brionne’s signature method of interweaving the exploration of the heart, mind and soul, has led to many aspiring actors embracing their own artistic paths.
With a staggering 99% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes, critics across the globe embraced the awe-inspiring film "Embrace of the Serpent" EL ABRAZO DE LA SERPIENTE. Celebrities, including James Franco also gave a thumbs-up to this multi-layered portrayal of modern day society as seen through the prism of the Amazon, and its last survivors who hold the secrets to our very existence. This great river is a life-force that supports all humanity and in the movie, the fictional, rare and sacred yakruna plant (with its healing properties) serves as a metaphor for all life in the Amazon. But this life-force has become endangered because of man’s selfishness, ignorance and failure to appreciate the world around him. Directed by Ciro Guerra, the film is far from ordinary and it’s cerebral, spiritual and mind-bending visuals put us right in the heart of this breathtaking South American paradise. In this thrilling follow-up interview with Brionne Davis, star of the Oscar nominated foreign film, he takes us further into the jungle (and his mind) as he reveals his leap of faith; leaving a life behind in New York to further pursue his acting dreams in Los Angeles. And it was kismet because while in LA, he booked the horror thriller Avenged, which led to him ultimately meeting the Columbian producer for "Embrace of the Serpent". This talented and multi-faceted actor shares this exciting story and many more inspiring tales from his transformational journey. "Embrace of the Serpent" gives us hope that it’s not too late to reverse the damage that mankind has inflicted on the soul of the Amazon. Like a caterpillar wrapped tightly in its cocoon, find out how the film and Brionne take flight like a butterfly transformed.

Plus, Arjen reveals the profound & unexpected moment when his talents paved the way for his destined journey: being taken under the wing of another lifelong idol, special effects make-up legend Rick Baker (“Maleficent”, “The Ring”, Men In Black, An American Werewolf in London Movie). Now, with several major films under his own banner (the upcoming horror sequel Rings Movie and Rob Reiner's bio-pic "LBJ"), Arjen’s R-E-N Studios is well on its way to creating the next generation of special effects make-up movie magic.

Additional video exclusives at: http://morementum.tv/category/video-exclusives/ In this exclusive two-part MoreMentum interview, meet the next generation of Hollywood special effects artists, Arjen Tuiten R-E-N (Maleficent, Unbroken, Thor, Pan's Labyrinth). His own career was inspired and created by the industry’s most iconic and Oscar-winning visual effects / make-up artists, including the late Dick Smith (The Godfather The Exorcist (film series), Taxi Driver, Amadeus) & Stan Winston (Jurassic Park, Aliens, Edward Scissorhands, Terminator 2 (T2)), plus recently-retired special effects and creature creator Rick Baker (“Maleficent”, "The Ring", Men In Black, An American Werewolf in London Movie). Discover how Tuiten’s lifelong fascination with the world of special effects and — more importantly — belief in himself, led him from the Netherlands to Hollywood. He arrived stateside at a very early age and through a series of bold moves: reached out blindly to those he admired and aspired to be, built a new life for himself as in immigrant in America, and ultimately realized a childhood dream.
