It is rare when someone with extraordinary talent — and a purpose — joins forces with another who shares his vision. Call it a collaboration of insight and sensibility.
Enter “comedian among comedians” Mark Lundholm and producer/director Steve Cannon of Cannon Films. With a desire to give back to the recovery community, the team created this series specifically for the drug rehab program at treatment centers, and others in recovery from addictions.
Mark Lundholm’s capacity to reach people through comedy is nothing short of miraculous. As one of the few comedians who has the ability to transform the truth about addictions into witty material, Lundholm has elevated the achievement to an art form. Funny, raw and inspiring, the Humor in Treatment series is one of the best addiction treatment tools around. Cannon Films captures Lundholm’s enormous talent in this three-DVD set that supports today’s drug rehab program, and anyone else in recovery.
Lundholm and Cannon are clear: By changing people’s perceptions of their own addictions, the pair educate the public at large, helping to alter views in the general population. The truth is, under the classic medical model, addiction is a disease. And that’s, well, not funny.
The duo believes the visual medium of video is a powerful vehicle to bring about positive change. With Humor in Treatment, they are well on their way.
