Director - Jeff DeAvila

Film has always been my passion, but as I have grown I found a love for helping those in recovery. In addition to being a filmmaker, I am also the Director of Community Resources at Recovery Empowerment Network (REN). We are a 501c non-profit mental health agency. Our mission is to provide services to those diagnosis as seriously mentally ill (SMI); in order to help those return back to society with the skills to live a fulfilling life. At REN I created Recovery Reelz, this program blends the ideas of peer support and recovery with the art of filmmaking. Hat Factory was our most recent production; created by those living in the mental health community and coming together to realize one single vision.
