I have two connections to a new short film that had its debut a few days ago at the prestigious South by Southwest Film Festival.
"A Puff Before Dying" dramatizes the dangers of driving while high on weed. It was written and directed by Michael Reich (my son) and Mike Pinkney for my client The National Road Safety Foundation.
Here's a link to a review of the short by The Movie Buff. A key quote: "Directed and written by Michael Reich and Mike Pinkney, the satire shines through as a warning not to drive while high. It’s a responsible fable, for sure, that is so good I hope it gets shown in schools. I know if I were in high school and saw this I would just love it."
The video will be up in the next day or so on the National Road Safety Foundation's site at https://www.nrsf.org/resources/impaired-driving
