Midwest premiere of the documentary ‘Frenchy Dreams’ a celebration of the late cannabis concentrate expert’s life and legacy, coming Friday, September 23rd

CHICAGO, IL, USA, September 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CHICAGO, IL — September 21, 2022, Producer and cannabis activist KIMBERLY HOOKS, widow of famed master concentrate maker FRENCHY CANNOLI, today announced the screening of the documentary film 'Frenchy Dreams' directed by JAKE REMINGTON, produced by Collabo NYC and Traditions Consulting Inc., screening at the ChiTown Drive-in Friday, September 23rd.

Frenchy Dreams showcases the master cannabis concentrate maker Frenchy Cannoli’s lifelong pursuit of perfect cannabis concentrate and highlights the ethos of sustainable, sun-grown cannabis.

During filming, in addition to intense wildfires, California’s small cannabis farmers experienced economic assassination at the hands of government and corporate interests. This formed the context of the film in which Frenchy and the farmers' fight for quality, and survival, intensified. Through the lens of Frenchy Cannoli’s life, this documentary showcases the importance of craft, quality, and perseverance. It also creates a conversation around the global topics of climate change, health care, sustainability, and corporatocracy.

To that end, 20% of proceeds from all screenings of the film both in theaters and eventually online will be donated to the Origins Council, a nonprofit advocacy association that serves 900 licensed small and independent cannabis businesses in six legacy-producing counties throughout California. Origins Council in turn will use the money to support their project with the Lost Coast Farmers’ Guild of Humboldt County to research and develop the Guild's petition to establish one of the first legally recognized cannabis appellations in the world.

“We are grateful to the Frenchy Cannoli Foundation for being so forward-thinking in making this donation,” says GENINE COLEMAN, executive director of the Origins Council. “Frenchy was a well-beloved leader of our community, and his legacy continues with the important work of honoring and protecting legacy cannabis farming.”
