The “Out The Monster” movement tackles America’s epidemic of accidental opioid addiction. 1 in 5 people prescribed painkillers will become addicted. Like a vicious monster, addiction takes away their jobs, their families, and even their lives. But how do you offer a solution to a problem nobody wants to talk about?
With “Out the Monster,” we set out to erase the stigma of accidental addiction. A two minute unbranded film introduced the idea of addiction as a monster; a grotesque nightmare that ruined lives and killed thousands. Viewers were directed to outthemonster.com and the site invited people to show support for the monster’s victims through social media.
