Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival

Presented by Mountainside Treatment Center

Big thanks to Mountainside Treatment Center for helping make the first-ever Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival possible. Mountainside has been a longtime supporter of recovery, community, and honest conversations about addiction. Their support allows us to bring filmmakers, artists, people in recovery, and the Dopey Nation together for a night of stories, connection, pastrami, and hopefully a little inspiration.

General Admission: $25

The Dopey Recovery Short Film Festival is the first of its kind — a night of short films about drugs, addiction, dumb shit, and recovery.

Our vision is to give filmmakers a platform to share original work about addiction, recovery, and everything in between.

We’ll be screening 5 original short films, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.

The night kicks off with a 7 PM reception featuring ½ pastrami sandwiches from Katz’s Delicatessen, Non-alcoholic beverages by Rachel Hechtman of Sober in Central Park, plus delicious vegan and vegetarian options.

There will also be sober celebrities, and local artists hanging out and shmoozing with the crowd.

Come hang. Watch some films. Meet some people. Eat some pastrami. Join the Dopey Nation. It’ll be fun.

 A Life After — Pro skateboarder Reese Barton on addiction, injury, and finding his way back
