ALL JACKED UP from Faerie Films Heading to
Film Festivals
Eye opening documentary for teenagers exposes
corporate greed and excess

Laguna Beach, CA – December 20, 2007 – Faerie Films, in association with Junkyard Dog Films, is pleased to announce that their documentary, ALL JACKED UP has been submitted to dozens of film festivals for 2008. Screening locations and dates will be released as film festival invitations are extended to the production company.

ALL JACKED UP is an angst-driven portrait of four teenagers who discover the truth about their obsessive, addictive, and emotion-fueled eating habits. All this brought on by their parents, schools, and an abusive food system that profits from them with no regard to their well-being. “We are thrilled to be in the position to take All Jacked Up around to select film festivals,” exclaimed Jennifer Mattox, director and writer of the film. “The movie rallies the teen generation to boycott and stick it to ‘Big Food’ and not to rely on the government to fix anything, they don’t care a thing about their health.”

A recent study published by the American Psychological Association claims that 19 percent of girls and 16 percent of teenage boys met the criteria for anxiety, stress or depression. A similar study at the University of Minnesota found that 44 percent of girls and 20 percent of boys were either overweight, engaged in binge eating or had used extreme weight-control measures. Through the movie ALL JACKED UP, the filmmakers claim to make a direct connection between a teenager’s eating habits and their emotional behavior.

“ALL JACKED UP is more than a movie, and we expect that teenagers will be enraged by what they see in this film and who’s behind the system that’s out to hurt them and take their money,” says the film’s producer and co-writer, Douglas Clemons. “Every teenager needs to see this movie and take necessary action,” states Mike Adams, author and nutritionist. “When they do, the nation’s food system will be knocked back on their heals. This movie will have a devastating impact on big food companies, and they way we feed our kids,” Adams continued.

According to the filmmakers, production of ALL JACKED UP was quite a green effort. All craft services and food for the cast and crew was vegan, vegetarian and organic (supplied by Whole Foods and Organic To Go), the production vehicle was a Toyota Prius hybrid, and no fuel burning power generators were used.

Faerie Films is actively seeking theatrical distribution for ALL JACKED UP as well as sales representation. The company plans to exhibit ALL JACKED UP at film festivals well into 2008, taking the film and its timely and provocative message to as many markets as possible.
