"IT'S ALL ABOUT FREEDOM TEASER" DOCUSERIES TEASER
SEATTLE HEMPFEST STARTS PRODUCTION ON 5 PART DOCUSERIES
What if 100,000 cannabis enthusiasts gathered without incident on the downtown Seattle waterfront annually for decades to protest prohibition?
A new documentary project is telling that story: The story of Seattle Hempfest and how a band of community activists helped change the laws. It is an American story of free speech, obstacles, and victories wrapped up in urban rebellion. The result is the culmination of decades of tireless advocacy and outspoken resistance that everyone needs to hear and see, and it is a testament to cannabis activists working the world over
to set the plant free.
THE WHY
In our eyes, Seattle Hempfest was always about Freedom, Liberty, and
Justice. Adults in a free society deserve the right to make their own
educated and informed choices about what they put in the sanctity
and the sovereignty of their bodies.
Those important health and recreational choices should be made based
on truthful and accurate information. So we felt it was important to
bring the truthful and accurate information to the public.
Because they were really only getting one side of the story, which
was the prohibition side, which is really based on lies.
THE STORY
This story is about the undisputed king of cannabis festivals, the
largest free speech rally in the country, and how it affected change
in Washington state and across America. No one disputes the role
Seattle Hempfest played in Washington State, being among the first
in the country to legalize recreational cannabis.
The more than 30-year history of Seattle Hempfest is beautifully woven
through all five episodes, creating an entertaining story filled with
interviews with experts in science, policy, and history. Mixed with
graphics, historic footage, animations, b-roll, narration, and lots
of great music.
More than 30 years. An All volunteer staff. Struggles with the city:
Politicians, musicians, authors, activists, and famous attendees.
All to free a plant.
THE EPISODES
1. HEMPFEST CANNABIS & HISTORY
2. SCIENCE MEDICINE & NATURE
3. POLITICS MONEY & POLICE
4. HEMP SUSTAINABILITY & the ECONOMY
5. ART MUSIC & all that's CREATIVE
Run time 45 to 60 mins per episode
THE TEAM
The core production team has spent more than a decade filming and now
working on projects like this with Seattle Hempfest. We have
hundreds of hours of footage and interviews going back to 2010,
including full event broadcast recordings from the main stage
for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017.
Some is exclusive footage no one else has. Including picking up the
permit from the city and walking the site with Homeland Security.
Behind the scenes for set up and tear down. The famous cigarette
butt pick-up walk of the entire park after the event.
Interviews conducted during the event with former Seattle Mayor
Mike McGinn. Industry Icon Steve DeAngelo. Travel Guru Rick Steeves.
Activist Jodie Emery. Former Congressman Dennis Kucinich. And the
Legendary Evy Musikka.

TREVOR FINLAY’s parents would often tell the story about putting him in front of the stereo where Mick Jagger’s voice would keep him company. They were also responsible for putting TREVOR in guitar lessons at the age of 9, taking him to his first rock concert at the age of 12, and bringing him to his first blues jam at the age of 15. So yeah, you could say that TREVOR is all their fault. FINLAY...

    Pharmaceutical made it illegal with government. They understood the medicine behind cannabis. All our ancestors used cannabis and hemp for so many things. It's easy to grow and government hates that. They want money and ill control. They spent more money keeping weed away than they spent on our roads through the entire country

    Still true today. Major depression,C PTSD, anxiety disorder, and high blood pressure; had them all then I started taking cannabis. Now bp is good, lost over 75lbs, calmer, sleep better at night, and able to handle past traumas when an attack hits ( it's not a cure all, still have good and bad days).

    The reason why it became illegal is because Rockefeller didn't want to see it become an oil when you grind up and seeds it makes close to oil that you get out of the ground you can make gasoline out of it?!!!! And not to even talk about the pill the dr and the greedy toooo what marijuana is one of the best medicines God has ever given us, I have seen people make it and run their lawn mowers off off hemp seeds you can make it almost into an oil looking thing when you concentrate it, it just makes sense but yeah thank you Tommy Chong and God bless you it grows right out of the ground and you don't have to do anything into it to get really I think it was given to us from the father upstairs i think you know what I mean God bless you all

    The media lies & says that marijuana makes you stupid. The powers that be don't want you to smoke because you get to reality and you see beyond a veil of illusion. They want people to think that people that smoke are just crazy and "out there." No period we are just not miserable like the masses and we are awake. Smoking as much as he does I'm sure he's way beyond the veil and I find him a very smart/good guy.

I cannot express how good it feels to help heal other people, that in itself is healing personally. Do it, grow your own, talk to your plants, tell everyone I was being nice, tell Mom I Stay High. Thank you so much, Tommy, for your inspiration, encouragement and support!!! Love ya man!

    The added temporary interneuronal synapse connections thanks to cannabis and especially the psychedelics are literal wiring upgrades to our brains that can be made permanent through normal neuroplasticity learning. These new connections give parts of our brains new access to both our current sensory perceptions, heightening them and making us more appreciative of everything we experience, while also giving parts of our brains new access to memories making even our memories heightened with literally new mental perspectives on them (explaining ‘flashbacks’). It’s like a physical empathy, giving our brains the ability to have new and more diverse perspectives on everything, past and present. These substances widely have the reputation as creativity-enhancers but I think actually they’re empathy-enhancers creating new perspectives, giving artists greater ability to imagine how a wider audience will perceive their work while it’s in progress, making it more creative as a result. Legalize, release, expunge and give industry advantages to the minorities most harmed.
