Cut Poison Burn Opening – Santa Monica – 9/26/11
Cut Poison Burn opened to a full house on the West Coast and an extremely engaged audience. A spirited Q&A afterwards with film subject Donna Navarro and writer/executive producer Lou Cimino raised the many emotional and political issues surrounding cancer treatment in the US. Audience reaction was intense at times – some were moved to tears and gasps of shock during the movie. Many shared personal anecdotes, statements of support, and an eager interest in activism during the Q&A session. Notable attendees included: Dr. Soren Nielson, Cancer Smart; Robert Charles Hunter - Chairman of Exxcell Entertainment; Shane Ellison – The People’s Chemist; and Lorraine Rosenthal – Director of The Cancer Control Society; which also benefited from the screening.
