Newport Academy And The Reel Recovery Film Festival Join Forces To Educate And Entertain

Oct. 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Founder of Newport Academy, Jamison Monroe announced today that Newport Academy would be working directly with Writers In Treatment (www.writersintreatment.org) this year to make The Reel Recovery Film Festival 2010 unforgettable.

Aside from spreading the word about the festival through community outreach, Newport Academy will also be sponsoring one of the decade’s most powerful and terrifying documentaries about collegiate alcohol abuse entitled, “Spin The Bottle” (http://www.mediaed.org/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=210). On Wednesday, October 27. 2010 at the Arena Stage Theater in Hollywood, “Spin The Bottle” will be screened for all those attending the festival.

While last year’s festival left an indelible mark on the community by featuring a rare opportunity to hear both Ben Stiller and Jerry Stahl discuss “Permanent Midnight”, this year’s festival will be taking things a bit further by featuring four New York City biopic classics (Pollack, Basquiat, Basketball Diaries and Ciao! Manhattan) with several surprise guests set to participate in post-screening discussions. Packed with various perspectives and vastly differing schools of thought, these discussions are certain to get to the core of the topic and not safely dance around the issues. It is this sometimes uncomfortable dynamic which ensures an unforgettable experience for all those in attendance.
