Chris Bell - Filmmaking My Way

Chris Bell is a documentary filmmaker who’s extensive directorial list includes; “Bigger, Stronger, Faster,” “A leaf of Faith,” and “Prescription Thugs” to name a few.

I like his Wiki entry which summarizes his plight quite well:

“His work is focused on the impact that society has on our consumption and addictions, especially to prescription drugs. Chris provides great insight on the ways that American culture forms our decision making. He continues to be an outspoken advocate for those suffering from addiction and their families.”

When the opportunity to interview Chris presented itself, the first thing that came to mind was the fact that he’s one of the most talented filmmakers I know, yet he’s not at all like other filmmakers.

The man goes against the grain in many ways. He seemingly lives life by his own rules in the quest to challenge the status quo. Thankfully for us, we get to see his path of enlightenment unfold throughout his film anthology. No industry or corporate contamination.

In this episode of “The Liver Show” Chris gives me the inside scoop on his recent plant journey experience!
