UPDATE: The Sundance Film Festival Jury Prize in Animated Short Film was presented to A Morning Stroll!

THE METH PROJECT

THE METH PROJECT is a large-scale US prevention program aimed at reducing first-time Methamphetamine use, particularly among teenagers.

~

Four Studio Aka Directors all took on the creation of Six films for the project by concentrating on personal stories by users. Uncompromising & uncomfortable to watch, each of the films has its own style, reflecting the personal recollections of addicts. In addition to these thought-provoking films, there are a series of stand alone Illustrations to accompany other stories of addiction & Radio audios that will be viewable on the Meth Project website
