"reading Tony’s articles was undermining my brainwashing."... Well said Geoff. I find it amazing what a breath of fresh air can do to a well programmed minion of Lroon. Given the right state of mind and the right come on, almost anyone can be sucked into cult like behavior. Given the right state of mind and that glimmer of reality, most can and do leave $cientology.
I hope Brothers Broken gets good distribution, Geoff's and Robbie Levin's story needs to be told and hopefully more will wake up and escape the mindf**k of the $cienoverse.
Kudos to all of the ASC who's writings have helped get more out of the clam bed. You know who you are. You work is beer worthy.
Mark, thank you. I’ve already been a reader and I love storytelling as evidenced by my dedication to my group Celestial Navigations. I am working on improving my own writing.
I am excited about making movies. My next one is scripted and I scheduled to shoot early 2024.
More proof that it’s never too late to change, to leave Scientology, and never too late to create art. I look forward to seeing and hearing more work from your renaissance.
Artoo, it’s been a renaissance for me. I have a new scripted movie in the works and new album of songs reflecting joy, inspiration and nature. My mantra as well, “never too late to create art”.
I love how Geoff has created such a successful resurgence after escaping Scientology's artistic suppression. All the best to him and Robbie with the documentary.
Phil, thank you. Producing the film has been amazing for deprogramming and reuniting with old friends and making new ones. Took several years to stop my victim mentality. I still catch myself occasionally falling into it. I pop out quickly now.

Thanks Ze Mooo. The festival selections help in getting our film exposed to distributors.
Let anyone you know in the New York area know about the screening.

Well, you're an inspiration, to me at least.
Phil, seeing your comment makes my efforts worthwhile.
Beautiful story of struggle and liberation, and of people who were decisive in taking the step. Bravo to all.
Emmanuel, thank you.
Wow! Tony, it must be great to see the impact of your articles!
When will the film screen in LA?

Darn! I missed it.
Michele, I will be working to get it up on a major streaming platform soon.
I look forward to seeing this and your other work also. So glad you’re on this side of the fence now!
Brenda, being on the other side of the fence was a nightmare. Using my talents to expose Scientology’s lies has been cathartic and fulfilling.
Fantastic. I look forward to watching it.
Chukita, thank you. That’s one of my goals for the film. To expose the toxic organization so people won’t go into it or will wake up and leave it.
