Title: Dear Albert
Format: Feature Length Documentary
Production Company: Intrepid

A character driven, feature documentary about recovery from addiction. Following the life and work of Recovery Consultant Jon Roberts over a period of three years. Jon is a recovering addict himself, if he can get well so can Ian and Gary; it’s get well or die trying.
‘In rehab, one of the things they asked me to do was to write a letter saying goodbye to the addict within. Usually these letters start Dear Addict. When I went back to read what I had written, I realized that I had written Dear Albert. At that moment I started to understand what was really going on; that my drug use had become part of an elaborate lie. From that moment I decided that I didn’t want to be Albert anymore.’
