Starting with National Recovery Month in September, THE CREATIVE HIGH will be broadcast nationwide on PBS! To celebrate this important milestone and all the hard work that has gone into this broadcast, we are hosting a special event that will offer the opportunity to:

  • STREAM: Our PBS Cut exclusively on Kinema from September 12th – September 19th, 2026

  • MEET THE ARTISTS:

    A special LIVE virtual celebration with the artists featured in THE CREATIVE HIGH. Come for a 'Where Are They Now' discussion with Q&A.

Your ticket purchase helps offset the ongoing expenses of bringing this film to PBS audiences — from broadcast licensing to distribution.

Our current goal is to raise $3K. Every donation, big or small, gets us closer.

About the film

The Creative High documentary features nine artists in recovery from addiction, revealing how creative expression can play a vital role in sustaining recovery. Through hip-hop, theater, dance, rock and roll, photography and painting, the film shows how creativity can build resilience, restore purpose and celebrate the human spirit. The film explores the challenge of maintaining balance while entering deeply into the creative process, and shows how a 'natural high' can be experienced without substances.
