Straight, Inc. and Derivatives / Re: drug free america foundation changes it's name
« on: December 22, 2010, 11:25:31 AM »
Actually the DFAF didn't change their name.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America Changed Name to The Partnership at Drugfree.org
The Partnership for a Drug-Free America has been around for a few years at least, and I have even confused them w/ the DFAF but they are a different organization.
They are at drugfree.org and the dfaf is still at dfaf.org

yep, that is a pic of the son-of-a-cunt. And the ordained minister thing . . .imagine that? Ross a minister. I'm not suprised . . .he is after all the same as Newton, total fraud. Interesting that on his CV/Resume, he left out his time working at Straight.
Hey Sherm,
How goes it?

Sorry to say but I totally disagree Bill. I think a hot-line is a necessity. Just because it didn't work in one situation doesn't mean it won't in another. I'd rather do TOO much than not enough. If someone watches it they might not be a person that does the "online" thing. I believe "something for everyone" is a far better way to go. Seeing that I would be somewhat responsible if someone did kill themselves after seeing this film, I couldn't live with that, so I definitely think it's a must. Even if just one person calls, it's worth it. Not to mention we'd be able to put them in touch with someone who can "really" help them, if that's what they want.
Definitely something I'd like to do, I think it's extremely important and I have seen other documentaries that do the same thing. It's not a matter of if we are going to do it but how, in my opinion. I think dragonfly is definitely right on this one. Imagine someone watches the movie and hears a story being told about THEM. And suddenly a memory that they had repressed for 25 years come back because of hearing about it. What we should just hope they get online and find help? No way.

I think we have 2 routes we could go.
1. 800 number, but this can get pricey 3-4 cents a minute. However if we go this route, we could get the person on the line, get their info and then call back on a land line or cell phone to save costs.
2. Just do a regular number through Skype, which is $2 a month and can be forwarded to any number at any time. Meaning whoever is on call the skype number can be forwarded to their home number or cell number, or they could actually use Skype as well. Then wherever we advertise the number, we just include that we will accept collect calls. I think ultimately that would be the less expensive route, while allowing anyone to call, even if they don't have access to call long distance.
Thoughts?

I posted on a couple active threads on facebook to get some people thinking about it. I mentioned too I also planning on setting up a private discussion board for survivors only, that's linked off the movie site. We'll have a public one too of course, but I think it would be great to offer survivors a place to talk online, that is 100% private.

@dragonfly
I'll post something on facebook. We'll definitely make something happen, have a hotline, website, as much as we can put in place, a warning before viewing the movie etc. Let's just keep brainstorming, I'll definitely make sure this is on the top of the list of things to do in the short term!
@shady
nice meeting you yesterday and yes I agree. Although I Think between all the interviews we're getting a lot info. One person might not mention something, but the next one does. Granted I don't think we'll ever get it all, as you said, but we're definitely on the right track.

I know we aren't rolling in cash these days, but if anyone can spare even $5 we are asking for donations to cover expenses for this film. The funds will go to pay for travel expenses (we have 6-8 people coming up to DC that will be filming) as well as travel expenses and equipment expenses for several other interviews we still need in NY and NJ. If you are interested in making a donation please go here http://http://www.straightincthemovie.com and click the donate button!
Thanks!
