Thank you to The South Shores Press for covering our screening at the New York Long Island Film Festival. We continue to work to tell the story of the 9/11 first responders who were repeatedly told the air was safe to breathe and then faced a myriad of 9/11 related illnesses. Check out our website at Johnnymacfilm.com to follow our journey.

It means a lot to have this piece included among such incredible independent filmmakers and artists. I will be taking part in a Q&A where I’ll be discussing the making of Naked in Your Bed, the creative process behind the video, and more. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project along the way.
