The New Movie Addicted, Our Interview With Screenwriter Christina Welsh, and Why You NEED To See It!!

7:31 am by Aida Leave a Comment

Who is Christina Welsh and why are we talking about her?  Well, you may not know her name, but after this week you probably know her work. She is one of the screenwriters who worked on the new movie Addicted, which is due out on Friday, October 10th.  

Well, we had a chance to hear from her. She shared her wisdom, her experiences, and how she became a screenwriter. She also shared her six year-long experience of bringing Zane’s book, Addicted to the big screen (talk about a dream deferred).  

In our interview with Christina, you will hear her touching story about:

  • What is possible if you don’t give up on your dreams.
  • Having patience while you wait for your big break.
  • Why it is important to pursue your dreams?
  • She shares what she learned along her journey.
  • She shares what she learned about addiction.
  • Why she is excited about bring this conversation to the big screen?
  • And, what she has planned for the future.  

This is an interview you want to hear!!

Of course, it would be great to end the conversation here, but we can’t!  Yes, Addicted has a star studded cast, Sharon Neal, Boris Kudjo, William Levy, Tasha Smith, Tyson Beckford, just to name a few. And, this movie has plenty of spicy scenes that will keep you at the end of your seat, but let’s not forget that behind all the glitz and glamour there is a subject that doesn’t get enough attention.  

Addicted is a movie about a topic that we don’t talk about as much as we should, sexual addiction. It is a big problem and many people suffer from it silently, filled with shame and embarrassment, if they even identify the problem. It is so real, it  breaks up families, marriages, and just like any addiction, it can be incredibly challenging to the people whose lives are touched by it.  Even more alarming, are some of the stats, there seems to be a tie between sexual abuse victims and sexual addiction.

Some people have experience with addiction, but if it’s not a problem that you have you may not understand it, or the destruction it causes.  This movie shows first hand the cost of addiction, how no one is safe from it’s touches, and how to identify it.  

I hope you go out and support the movie, and take the time to find out more about this issue.  

Here is an article we found helpful What is a sex addict?

Addicted
Based on the best-selling novel by Zane, ADDICTED is a sexy and provocative thriller about desire and the dangers of indiscretion. Successful businesswoman Zoe Reynard appears to have attained it all – the dream husband she loves, two wonderful children and a flourishing career. As perfect as everything appears from the outside, Zoe is still drawn to temptations she cannot escape or resist. As she pursues a secretive life, Zoe finds herself risking it all when she heads down a perilous path she may not survive.
