EP276: Addicted in Film - Ted Perkins

Sobertown Podcast guest host, Elaine Skylar Neal, talks with Ted Perkins, author of the new book, "Addicted in Film: Movies We Love About the Habits We Hate." As a former film executive, Ted has spent his entire career immersed in Hollywood film culture and is a true industry insider. As part of his own recovery, Ted watched over 100 films about addiction in 100 days, ultimately choosing 27 to write about. Addicted in Film is a thoughtful exploration of not just the films themselves but how they relate to our culture and the addiction landscape as a whole. AND he's launched a really fun film club with watch parties and discussion groups that people can join!    For more information about the book, visit https://www.addictedinfilm.com/. It's also available for purchase on Amazon, Audible or wherever you buy your books. Ted Perkins is a former Universal Pictures and Warner Bros.

He volunteers his time as an addiction and recovery YouTube personality, sobriety mentor, and has helped thousands of people on their recovery journey through his blogs, videos and weekly SMART Recovery meetings. Perkins has lived and worked in over 50 countries, and now resides in Los Angeles.   Elaine Skylar Neal is a multi-skilled creative, website designer, and web publisher.
