Asthma Society of Canada and Pillar To Post Home Inspections Partners with Award Winning Documentarian to Support Toronto Premiere and Earth Week Screening of New Film Chemerical

April 20, 2010 // Franchising.com // (TORONTO, ON) Canadian environmental film producer, Andrew Nisker of the runaway documentary hit Garbage!The Revolution Starts at Home has been invited to present and screen his film for senior corporate executives during this year's Earth Week at Wal-Mart corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.

Nisker's film Garbage! was an official selection of the Hot Docs 2008 Film Festival in Toronto as well as the United Nations Association Film Festival in San Francisco, received an award in the 2008 Cinemambiente Italian Enviro Film Festival, the Green Film Festival in Seoul Korea, and enjoyed screenings at film festivals worldwide including China, Malaysia, Romania and Mexico. Garbage! aired on the Sundance Channel in the U.S. and Super Channel in Canada and recently sold to numerous broadcasters on the international market and is translated in over five different languages.

"I am encouraged that corporations in North America have now firmly embraced the environmental conscious consumer movement and have realized that it is not a fad or phase but now a very critical part of their business as consumers become conscious, knowledgeable and committed to environmental issues that impact their own direct environment and health," says Andrew Nisker, Founder and Producer, Take Action Films.

Nisker's new film Chemerical which recently premiered as runner up of the 'People's Choice Awards' at the Whistler Film Festival, documents a family's difficult transition towards a chemical free lifestyle, while taking the audience on an eye-opening journey through the toxic effects and lifecycle of the everyday chemicals they use. Chemerical digs deep to explore the consequences of living in a chemical laden nation by raising the following questions: What are the chemicals doing to us and the environment? Do we need the chemicals we use on a daily basis? What would happen if an average family kicked the chemical habit for three months? Would their health improve? What effect will living a chemical free lifestyle have on the environment? There have been over 5,000 toxic products removed from homes since the first screening of Chemerical in December 2009.

In addition to Wal-Mart screening Garbage! during Earth Week, Toronto audiences may not only get a chance to watch his new film Chemerical in a cinema, but also get an opportunity to enjoy informative discussions with the producer during a sponsored (Asthma Society of Canada and Pillar To Post Home Inspections) Toronto premiere screening at the Royal Theatre on Tuesday, April 27th at 7:00 PM.

Christine Hampson, CEO and President of Asthma Society of Canada says supporting severe asthma symptoms sufferer and successful environmental film producer Andrew Nisker's Toronto premiere helps us to continue to achieve our goal of empowering people living with asthma. We are committed to helping adults and children with asthma and associated allergies to achieve symptom-free lives by providing them with up-to-date information about asthma and its management, while empowering them to strive for better asthma control through identifying potential environmental triggers.

Nisker will also be appearing and screening Chemerical at the Green Living Show (Pillar To Post Booth) on Saturday, April 24th at 1:00PM and Sunday, April 25th at 1:00PM.
