Cut Poison Burn LIVE Q&A Transcript 9/21/12

Please check out the

Cut Poison Burn LIVE Q&A Transcript of the film participants and producers below:

Question: How were you approached to do the film?
  Lou Cimino: When I started writing the film I met Dr. Burzynski in Houston and he told me about Donna. I met her and Jim and they told me the story of Thomas and it was a very very hard story and I wanted to do my best to immortalize their child so that what they went through wasn't in vain.

Donna Navarro: I'm grateful I met Lou. We had a documentary crew follow us around for 10 years, and Lou was able to incorporate our footage into his film to bring awareness for medical freedom.

   Question: There is a bill now in front of the House and Senate. Can

   you take these people through this?

   Donna Navarro: There is a bill out there the HR6342 COMPASSIONATE

   FREEDOM OF CHOICE ACT. This enables the patient to use drugs,

   treatments and devices that have not yet been approved by the Food and

   Drug Administration. You can contact representatives of your state.

   They need to support. You can track this bill by going to govtrack.us,

   where you can track in real time. It is in committee waiting to be

   voted on before it goes to the House to be voted on. We need a lot of

   support. Also, Ron Paul is retiring. When he retires this bill is

   going to die, and we will need a new Congressmen or Senator to

   introduce this again.

   Question: What do recommend to families in a similar situation?

   Donna Navarro: It's very hard to get around conventional medicine.

   With a child you have to follow protocols that FDA sets up and if you

   try usurping them, your child can be taken away. Do your research.

   Question: Is every state different?

   Donna Navarro: Every state has different medical freedoms and the

   rights of parents but none of them truly give the right to choose the

   modality of treatment.

   Question: What is the best form of alternative therapy you have come

   across?

   Donna Navarro: Every cancer has different aspects to it, and different

   kinds of treatment. Medicine is an art. Dr. S. Burzynski has the best

   for the treatment of brain cancers. Antineoplaston treatment is what

   we wanted for Thomas, who had Medulloblastoma, a form of brain cancer.

   Question: How did you choose what to show?

   Charlie Sadoff: An example of a scene that we debated over how much to

   include was the scene towards the end of the film where Donna is woken

   up by Thomas, and he is struggling. It’s a tough scene to watch

   but we decided to include as much as we could so the audience could

   experience as much as they could what Donna and Jim were going

   through. We showed this scene to Jim before we finalized it, and Jim

   gave his blessing.

   Question: What can they do outside the bill to spread the word about

   this issue?

   Larry Meistrich: We are distributing this film so that people can have

   a voice. Like us on Facebook, tell your friends, look at our blog.

   Email us if you want to show this to your church or synagogue, or

   local community group. What we decided to do with the film is to offer

   Personal Value Pricing. If people can't afford to pay for it, people

   can download it and pay what they can for the film. We care about

   getting the message out, and we want Thomas' story to be the last like

   this.

   Question: What was Thomas like? Donna Navarro: Thomas was opinionated

   and strong child with a very strong faith in God. He never gave up.

   Question: How do you defeat the FDA?

   Donna Navarro: I don't know how you defeat the FDA! Keep on knocking

   on their doors. They are not elected they are appointed. 
   They don't  change with administrations.

   Charlie Sadoff: Sunlight always helps which is the point of the film.

   The FDA is autonomous. Oversight from Congress isn't very strong.

   Congress needs to force the FDA to look at their mandate. And private

   industry can help as well if they can come up with ways of getting

   certain drugs into the market that are not FDA approved.

   Question: Who are the politicians that are supporting this bill?

   Donna Navarro: Ron Paul introduced it. The four co-sponsors are Paul

   Broun from Georgia, Dan Burton from Indiana, Morgan H. Griffith from

   Virginia, and Richard Hanna from New York. We need more sponsors so

   please write to your representatives and tell them to support the Bill!

   Question: What should people say when they reach out?

   Donna Navarro: Tell them to support HR6342: The Compassionate Freedom

   Act, be concise and to the point. They look at you as 1,000 votes.

   Charlie Sadoff: it's been crafted to be bipartistan and has a really

   low bar for approval. It's a first step. It should get broader

   support. Congress isn't doing much of anything these days, but if you

   can, try to make your representatives aware of it.

   Question: Is this bill just about medical freedom for children or

   adults?

   Donna Navarro: It’s for children and adults.

   Question: While filming this documentary did the crew become

   emotional?

   Donna Navarro: No, not really. They were doing everything with us and

   through us and sometimes they got emotional. We were really a family

and we understood our boundaries. Sometimes we would need to push them

   out of the room, but they understood.

   Question: How about the cutting room?

   Charlie Sadoff: Yes, of course you do get emotional and you get to

   know the people in the movie. In the end you try to tell the best

   story you can.

   Question: Are you able to see Dr. Burzynski for treatment?

   Donna Navarro: Dr. Burzinsky can see patients if you fit the FDA

   protocol they set up. He is currently treating patients.

   Question: The film started out as a play. Can you talk about the path

   this project took?

   Lou Cimino: I started writing a play Cut Poison Burn in 1989 and I

   started researching doctors in sort of the medical underground. I was

   finding people who had been harassed and arrested for treating

   patients.

DigiNext Series Starting on 09/21/12 at your local Digiplex Theater

At Digiplex Destinations, reinventing cinema means bringing entertainment to a whole new level-whether through the inspiring spectacle of a live opera or magic experience of a digitally remastered Hollywood classic like Singin’ in the Rain or Lawrence of Arabia. 

Now we are pleased to announce the launch of DigiNext, a curated series of independent films fresh from festivals around the world and now at your local Digiplex Destination. The selected films include edgy comedies, provocative dramas and insightful documentaries that bring something unique to your local cinema- Movies that Change You.

Here is the list of features for our first series:

 

09/21/12 Cut Poison Burn 

 The story centers on the Navarros, a family struggling to keep their young son alive. The war between the Navarro Family and the FDA is perhaps this country’s greatest evidence as to why there should be medical freedom. As the personal meets the political, we see how the FDA holds a vise-like grip on treatment options. Heart-wrenching and informative, the film ultimately expresses the hope that we can create a new paradigm of prevention, medical freedom and acceptance of highly-tailored therapies to usher in a more enlightened era.

10/19/12 The Standbys

Every night on Broadway, dozens of the best performers aren’t on stage. They are backstage, standing by, ready to go on at a moment’s notice. The unique and challenging lives of Broadway’s Understudies and Standbys are revealed in this evocative and original behind-the-scenes documentary.

11/09/12 Chloe and Keith’s Wedding

Chloe & Keith’s Wedding is a heartfelt and hilarious, indie romantic-comedy that captures all of the fun, frolicking and hijinks of one of the craziest weddings ever. Completely scripted, the film cleverly captures the story of Jordan, the clumsy best man, and Sarah, a bridesmaid who also happens to be his ex-girlfriend as told through the “found footage” shot by the wedding videographers and the guests themselves using video flip cameras. This hilarious and touching indie film is truly groundbreaking as it was the first to use a viral video to solely market the film.

01/25/12 Standing Silent

Phil Jacobs, editor of the Washington Jewish Post, has begun writing and publishing a series of articles about sexual abuse in the Orthodox Jewish community. He has found what he believes to be clear evidence that several respected rabbis have been able to avoid arrest and recrimination due to the control they wield over the community. Fear blankets the orthodox community, creating an impenetrable wall of silence impossible to break through.

02/22/12 Taiwan Oyster

Shot on location in Taiwan, The Taiwan Oyster tells the story of Darin and Simon, two American ex-‐patriots who steal the corpse of a fallen countryman and embark on a quixotic road trip through the Taiwanese countryside in search of a suitable burial place for a person they barely knew. Taiwan in the year 2000, only thirteen years after the lifting of Marshall Law rule and still an unruly place referred to by many as the “Wild, Wild East,” provides a perfect setting for The Taiwan Oyster.
