Biebert, who has loved ones suffering from these types of illnesses, wants to know if nicotine can help.

A misunderstood and demonized substance

The goal of the film is to debunk many of the myths surrounding nicotine. Filming began a few months ago and should be finished by the end of this summer, which would allow the film to be shown at certain festivals like Sundance, Berlin, SXSW, etc …

Aaron Biebert has also planned to work with Hollywood, and a budget is in the works. Discussions with the Film Collaborative of Los Angeles are also underway for the association’s connections to the film industry.
