Overview

I have spent over 18 years making the Award-Winning documentary film, "DRUNK IN PUBLIC",
which chronicles the life of Mark David Allen, a man arrested more than 500 times.
The number of issues and related content raised by the film are countless. There is
something in it for everyone. Remarkably, the film hits both patients and practitioners
alike, working on a variety of levels. The film opens eyes and challenges hearts.

About

My name is David J. Sperling and I have an award-winning film / speaking presentation
that is quite dynamic and leaves a lasting impact.

I have spent over 18 years making the film, "DRUNK IN PUBLIC",
which chronicles the life of Mark David Allen, a man arrested more than 500 times.
The number of issues and related content raised by the film are countless. There is
something in it for everyone. Remarkably, the film hits both patients and practitioners
alike, working on a variety of levels. The film opens eyes and challenges hearts.

Here is a short list of just a few of my past presentations:

GUEST SPEAKER - Cape Cod Symposium On Addictive Disorders
KEYNOTE SPEAKER - CADDTP Annual Conference
KEYNOTE SPEAKER - CAADAC Annual Conference
PLENARY SPEAKER - CAADE Annual Conference
AWARD WINNER - BEST FILM EDITING - Boulder International Film Festival
AWARD WINNER - AUDIENCE AWARD - Newport Beach International Film Festival

I have screened and discussed the film 300+ times with great reception. The film has
a real word of mouth following as it has globally reached and been used in used in a vast
number of universities, treatment centers, police academies, prisons, hospitals, classrooms,
the military, film festivals and more.

My background in law enforcement is also unique for this industry as I bring a real
life approach to my speaking. In my 28 year career working jail intake, I booked over
50,000 people shepherding many into treatment all the while never receiving a single
complaint.

Trailers, reviews, purchase info (both digital and DVD) are available online as well as my LinkedIn profile.

I am available upcoming speaking opportunities (with other presentations as well). Please feel free to forward this information to anyone you believe would benefit from my live or online services.
