A MESSAGE FROM THE DALLAS FILM COMMISSION:
“The Dallas Film Commission invites the DIFF community to join us at the inaugural event of Screen Dallas! As sponsors, donors, members, and friends of DIFF, we would love to have this creative and supportive community in attendance for our new program.
“Screen Dallas is a new program from the Dallas Film Commission that annually awards one feature length documentary with a fully sponsored, week-long theatrical release, offering filmmakers a powerful platform to qualify for the Academy Awards and connect with Dallas audiences. We are awarding the first Oscars qualifying run to SHUFFLE, which premiered at this year’s SXSW. This free red-carpet event will be at the Texas Theatre on September 23 from 6:00pm to 9:30pm.
“If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to Austin Flores at the Dallas Film Commission: austin.flores@filmdallas.org.
“We hope that you all can attend!”

ABOUT THE FILM:
Winner of the SXSW Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary, SHUFFLE shows director Benjamin Flaherty’s own recovery story as he documents the billion dollar addiction treatment industry, where young people are bought and sold for their insurance policies.
Shot over the course of three years, SHUFFLE follows three individuals whose lives depend not on getting into treatment, but on getting out alive. Our title refers to the process by which clients are cycled through a system of “care” for maximum profit: from detox facilities to sober living, then relapse and back to detox – a process that, when repeated, can generate up to one million dollars a year per person, if it doesn’t kill them first.
A NOTE FROM DIFF:
DIFF is a proud collaborator with the Dallas Film Commission on this new Screen Dallas initiative, and we hope to see you there!
