The Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse, American Addiction Centers and Partnership for Drug-Free Kids invite you to a complimentary screening of “Out of Reach”, a 30 minute film about prescription drug abuse created by Dallas Teen Filmmaker, Cyrus Stowe.

When & Where:  7:00 pm on Tuesday, February 10 at Preston Hollow Presbyterian Church in Dallas

Dallas native and Booker T. Washington graduate (2014), Cyrus Stowe was selected by entertainment company Genart and Partnership for Drug-Free Kids to turn his entry into a short documentary with the help of director Tucker Capps (of A&E’s “Intervention”). The short documentary, entitled “Out of Reach,”captures the issue of teen prescription drug abuse as it exists in Cyrus’ world, and is a reflection of the issue of teen medicine abuse across the country.

 “My goal was to raise awareness about just how many teens are abusing medicine. Until I started talking to my friends and making this film, I didn’t know the true scope of the problem, so I can’t imagine many parents understand either,” said Stowe. “I also have a personal connection to the issue, and making this film was truly a life-changing journey. I made self-discoveries during this process and am hopeful that it will help others will open their eyes to medicine abuse in the way it has for me.”

“This film is a teen’s wake-up-call to parents. Seeing how rampant prescription drug abuse is in a typical American high school will help put this dangerous behavior on parents’ radar and motivate them to take action,” said Debbie Meripolski, Executive Director of The Council on Alcohol & Drug Abuse. “We are proud to partner with Partnership for Drug-Free Kids and American Addiction Centers to shed light on this epidemic and motivate families and communities to take action.”
