Wow... floored by the reception of our film Clear Sky. Thank you. It's been out for just over 24hrs and our inbox and DMs have been flooded with heartfelt comments and reviews. Thank you for watching and sharing the film. And thank you to everyone in the AOD community who supported this film. From showing up to our test screenings and encouraging us to never stop this project.

7 years since we began making the film. We ended up self funding this project when broadcasters wouldn't touch it, but we knew it would find its audience. So glad we didn't give up. This film is almost as old as this channel!

If you know someone going through a battle with addiction or sobriety, please share this film.

We've been adding a ton of new teaching content to AOD about this film's BTS, how to do festival strategies and land an Executive Producer like Derek Cianfrance who has been supporting it from the start.

Finally…. After seven years in the making. This feature film is almost as old as this YouTube channel and if you've been journeying with me here, you'll have seen the arduous progress over the years of what it's taken us to film, edit and release this latest documentary, Clear Sky.

From being told by broadcasters that we can’t make this film, to pushing when there was no funding to make sure Shawn Clear Sky Davies' story got out, to the countless festivals that said yes and even more that said no, we’re finally ready to release this film about finding redemption, identity, and the truth; that no one's story ever is done.

We're honoured to release Clear Sky this Thursday at 12 noon on the AOD YouTube channel. Check the link below to make sure you're there for the premiere. We'll be doing a Q&A live on Zoom afterwards.

Thank you to the countless AOD filmmakers and people from this YouTube channel who supported us on this journey. Thank you to executive producer Derek Cianfrance for believing in this project. So thrilled to get this film out there!

This is a very big day for me and would have never dreamed I'd have the chance to do this 20 years ago when I was starting out in doc filmmaking. I've been working on a physical camera product for the last year with Kondor Blue. We've been through countless rounds of testing and prototyping. They've never made anything like this before. I cannot wait to get this into the hands of filmmakers as it's something I use every time I go to film. Get on the email list to be the first to know more about it! 
Any guesses of what it could be?
