San Francisco - Paul Morris’ Treasure Island Media (www.treasureislandmedia.com) has made a generous contribution to the production of a documentary covering the pressing issue of methamphetamine use within the gay community.

Paul Morris on methamphetamine abuse, and his reasons for supporting the film:

“More than anything else in life I'm committed to a cultural environment that enhances and promotes male sexual connection- it's the basis of our identity. Meth abuse stunts the real exploration of deep sexual practice and experience. I meet too many men who haven't had the opportunity to learn that the deepest and most expansive and life-enhancing sexual experiences are easily available without the use of a drug as physically and culturally damaging as crystal. Crystal is a short-circuit drug that betrays the individual user and the sex culture in general.

“While I disagree strongly with some of Todd's attitudes toward drugs and sex- I'm more liberal than he is- I feel certain that his consideration of methamphetamines in the world of male sexuality will be a positive step in the dialectic. Treasure Island Media is committed to supporting a vital, intelligent and open dialogue concerning male sexuality- particularly in a political environment as conservative as ours is becoming today.

“To my way of thinking, serious sex among men is political commitment. Meth abuse is political capitulation.”

The film is the most recent work of Todd Ahlberg, who also directed Hooked, a documentary covering the realities of online cruising for sex, which has been picked up by MTV for future airing, and is available at most video rental stores.

The Meth documentary is slated to be released in the coming months, and will be shown at a number of festivals before it becomes available for distribution.
