Perspectives from recovering addicts, artists and creatives in recovery, and the family and friends who love the addict but hate the disease.

“I Hate How Much I Love You” is a documentary film currently being produced by Dave.  The first set of interviews took place in Los Angeles in February 2018 and the film is expected to premier in 2019.

We are actively seeking people interested in supporting this film financially.

If you have connections to advocacy groups, support groups, community resources, we especially need your help.

We also need people interested in helping with production in different parts of the country and possibly Canada. If you’re interested in becoming a supporter of the film, click here!
