CREATOR’S STATEMENT

Hi. My name is Cory.

I began writing Jonas in rehab after a two year relapse on crystal meth – an addiction that started for me over a decade ago in the underground “chemsex” subculture in New York City.

This short film is a proof of concept for a feature film. The first step in what I hope will become a much larger project.

Telling this story has saved my life. It’s given me a way to creatively process my own struggle, and – I hope – share a pathway for others struggling with addiction to find redemption, recovery, and a life beyond their wildest dreams.
