Hello! A documentary I helped make is premiering in New York on November 12th, and I wanted to share it with this community. Two of my good friends are FDNY, who were both a big source of inspiration for making the film.

Synopsis: Fire Capt. Rob Christensen has spent decades saving lives, fighting blazes, and losing colleagues as he valiantly serves his Idaho community. Under immense mental strain, he undergoes experimental ketamine-assisted therapy to treat his post-traumatic stress disorder, assuage his spirit, and connect with his teenage daughter.

We made this film for the people who do this work, and we'd love to have firefighters and first responders in the room. After the screening, the filmmaker and film's participants, including Capt. Rob Christensen and Cpl. Kevin Holtry, will hold a moderated panel at a nearby venue open for all attendees. 

We'd love to see you there.
