ComingSoon is debuting an exclusive trailer for Clean Slate, the upcoming documentary from Emmy-Nominated filmmaker Jared Callahan. The film is set to premiere on December 2.
“Striving to stay sober, best friends Josh and Cassidy write their traumatic life events into a short film screenplay,” reads the film’s synopsis. “The project is jeopardized when Cassidy relapses and has to leave their Southern, faith-based recovery home. The aspiring filmmakers struggle to restore faith in their friendship, their families, and themselves, all while making their short film about the turbulent road of recovery.”
“Clean Slate is a feature-length documentary that provides an immersive, verité look into the world of recovery amid the biggest drug epidemic in American history,” said director Jared Callahan. “Everyone knows someone who’s in recovery, or someone who should be. In following Cassidy and Josh as they attempt to make a short film, our goals are to give viewers a space to empathize with those who struggle and to show how the creative process can be a lifeline to those in crisis.”
“Although most everyone knows someone who’s in recovery or should be, many well-meaning people fail to understand the complex imprisonment that comes with the disease of addiction,” Callahan continues. “Rather than preaching statistics, Clean Slate gives viewers an intimate window into the lives of two filmmakers and the relationship between creativity and recovery.”
