Director's Statement
Sno Babies was a passion project from start to finish. It explores the opioid epidemic in America’s suburbs, where teens have access to money and parents who are often too busy pursuing the American Dream to see what is happening right in their own homes. Unlike most films about heroin addiction, Kristen and Hannah cannot be easily written off as “different” or obviously damaged individuals from some obscure subset of our culture. Watching these two beautiful young girls descend into the black hole of addiction is every parent’s worst nightmare. I believe that exposing this unvarnished real horror will open people’s eyes and encourage them to look at themselves and their own families. Hopefully, Sno Babies can make a difference and we can save future Kristen’s and Hannah’s from this living hell. It’s more than a film, it’s a movement.
