Tomorrow! Screening of A Bridge to Life at Virginia Museum of History and Culture
Watch A Bridge to Life, a documentary by Virginia filmmaker Chris Farina, tomorrow (9/29) at 2:30 PM at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. The film follows a local group supporting men with addiction issues.
The screening is part of the "Voices of Collaboration and Justice" series, which also includes a short doc on the HARP program (peer-to-peer recovery in prison), followed by a 30-minute panel.
It’s a beautiful watch for anyone interested in prison reform, addiction recovery, or supporting a local filmmaker still working despite his ALS diagnosis.

Are there any more frequent plant swap/plant lover gatherings in RVA?
I am aware you can book tickets to The Plant House and make some different things like terrariums, moss bowls, etc.. However, I was hoping for more of a semi regular plant swap or general plant lover gathering. I can’t seem to find anything geared towards that. Am I just not searching the right parts of the interwebs?

Virginia Director Chris Farina’s new documentary will screen 9/29 at Virginia Museum of History and Culture
Chris Farina, a Virginia filmmaker dealing with ALS, will have a new documentary, A Bridge to Life, play as part of the Richmond International Film Festival this Sunday, 9/29, at 2:30 PM at the Virginia Museum of History and Culture. The film is about a local organization helping men dealing with life-threatening addiction issues.
The screening is part of the Voices of Collaboration and Justice series, which also includes a short documentary about the Helping Addicts Recover Progressively (HARP) program, a peer-to-peer recovery program run by those incarcerated. A 30-minute panel will follow.
Chris Farina has long been dedicated to showcasing Virginia's everyday heroes. Despite his ALS diagnosis in 2022, his passion for storytelling and community impact remains strong.
This event is perfect for those interested in prison reform, addiction recovery, mental health, community safety, or anyone wishing to support a beloved local filmmaker in an inspiring setting!

OCD Community Walk October 5th
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a fun opportunity for anyone in Richmond who has OCD or knows someone with OCD--
On October 5th, OCD Mid-Atlantic (a local non-profit) is hosting an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Awareness Walk in Deep Run Park (learn more/register here: Richmond OCD Walk) These walks have helped me meet some awesome community members (now friends!) and feel less alone in my recovery! There will be live music, food, and a community of people who understand how challenging it is to live with OCD and related disorders (like Hoarding and BFRBs). Funds go to support OCD Mid-Atlantic and the International OCD Foundation in their mission to increase OCD Awareness and access to treatment.

Horror Movie Red Carpet Premiere in Ashland!
My non-profit is trying something cool on November 7th. If it's a success then...well...we are already in talks with a big indie distributor of doing it more often.
Broken Innocence is a new Horror/Revenge Thriller starring Paul T Taylor (Pinhead in Hellraiser: Judgment) and local actress Arianna Harris (both will be on hand for a Q&A, autographs and photos).
Because we're a non-profit, We will also have a psychologist on hand to discuss healthy methods of healing from childhood abuse. In addition, we'll be showcasing a few locally made Horror shorts as well!
Tickets are on sale now and we'd love for all the Horror fans in the area to support this!
More info and tickets at the link!
