What the film is about:

Why is it so hard to take a break?

The film explores the power, influence and interference of the multi-trillion dollar alcohol industry in our daily lives. Our documentary follows my journey as I dive into the benefits of taking a break from alcohol, meeting key experts in health, the alcohol-free spaces and communities around the globe. I’ll also uncover how misinformation and clever marketing have slowly duped us into a culture that can’t seem to exist without a drink.  We will look into our government's role in the alcohol mess, whilst uncovering stories and coverups that will SHOCK you! 

Most importantly, we’ll invite important voices to the table and reveal how we can collectively make a difference to fuel the momentum of the alcohol-free movement to change the world!

This documentary will hopefully inspire millions watching to take a break and experience the life transformational benefits.

Community & Audience:

Our aim is to raise the awareness of the middle-lane drinker so they can see the negative impact those few drinks are having on their health, relationships and happiness.

How the film started: 

Over a year ago, our Director Jon Hyatt watched my TEDx talk ‘The Limitless Pill’ whilst filming his latest documentary about health, and wondered why many of the experts he interviewed never mentioned alcohol? 

The plan was for me to be the alcohol-free expert in this documentary, but the more we spoke it became clear that there was a need for a documentary specifically for alcohol-free. 

Once Jon finished filming, he suggested we tell the story through my eyes and flew from Canada to the UK to film some early interviews in London and the alcohol-free documentary adventure began! 

Why I am making this film:

2024 marks my 10th anniversary, alcohol-free, and I feel better than ever.

This documentary is for the hundreds of millions of middle-lane drinkers, which is about 70% of the adult population of the Western world. I was one of them. 

When I first coined the term “middle lane” on the Rich Roll podcast, people understood and after millions of views and downloads later, this episode has inspired so many people. So I realised now is the time.

It’s been a rough time for everyone, especially during COVID. Alcohol consumption was a major contributor, and we’re left with the worst hangover ever. People are fatigued, depressed and suffering from poor mental and physical health.

With the recent emergence of zero-proof industries, dry trends, I’ve noticed a huge uptick in folks taking long breaks from alcohol, seeking help, guidance and community. 

Our aim is to raise the awareness of the middle-lane drinker so they can see the negative impact those few drinks are having on their health, relationships and happiness.

Equally, we want to sing from the rooftops about the incredible advantages you experience when you take a break.

We want to celebrate the alcohol-free communities, influencers and alcohol-free drinks industry that is propelling the alcohol-free movement.

And finally, we want to champion you!

We want to showcase the incredible rise of alcohol-free heroes who are courageous enough to take a break and enjoy life on the fun side of the island.

And 

It’s a movement I’ve championed for ten years and truly it is my life’s work. 

What we will do with your donation:

Your donation will form the most important part of our documentary road map. While our producers are pitching the project to distributors, in the interim, there are many important and exciting events that we need to capture on film that cannot wait and are crucial to the story. 

Your donation will contribute to production and filming, securing access to important guests and locations. 

Your donations will fund the early stages of the documentary, and this kickstart is vitally important!

Here is what you get along with our eternal gratitude:

You get to say you were part of the documentary that has the power to change the world!

You get to share the joys of alcohol-free and potentially make the world a better, healthier place.

We will also be sent a link to watch the documentary for free once we do a digital release. 

This link will be provided via email notification once the documentary is launched.

You will also get regular updates via email on the behind the scenes progress.

I will take you with me on this journey every step of the way, from the first interview to the red carpet.

And I am sure a few of you will get to join me at the premier event!

Are you ready? Let’s change the world together.

Cheers

Andy & the team!
