The film is slated for wide release in March 2015 under the title To Write Love on Her Arms.

About the film:

"DAY ONE" is based on the true story of Florida teenager Renee Yohe (played by Kat Dennings), whose struggle with addiction and abuse inspired the creation and 2006 launch of the non-profit organization To Write Love on Her Arms. In a creative blend of artistic fantasy, music and confrontation with harsh reality, Renee discovers the value of genuine friendships and embarks on a daunting, yet courageous journey towards recovery.

Behind the story

 

“This movie touches on just so many core things that are important in life. There’s such a beautiful human quality to this story, an incredible learning experience to meet people who have been through something like this and then meet them on the other side of it.”

– Chad Michael Murray

 

“This movie reminds that if you know somebody who’s struggling with something—whether it’s addiction or depression or any other problem, maybe you should look outside yourself and reach out. I know it’s easier said than done, but these friends did just that for this girl.”

– Rupert Friend

 

“Another reason why I wanted to do this movie is that it shows that you don’t just go get detoxed, and then go to rehab and you’re all better; it’s not like that. It’s something you’re going to have to do one day at a time for the rest of your life. I think it’s important for people to know that it’s okay to feel like you’re not better as long as you keep trying.”

– Kat Dennings

 

“Rescue’s not possible if you don’t want it for yourself. I think one of the misconceptions about me was that this group of people just found me and came in and saved me. That would have never worked in a million years! Once you want it for yourself, you have to fight for it. You have to make that decision and be willing to do whatever it takes. Then, you can have a community come around and support that decision. But it really starts with you making a firm decision that you want help. I hope that those seeing this movie don’t see that it’s perfect or ties neatly into a little bow at the end. We don’t walk away with any specific ending.
I’m still alive; my story’s still going.”

– Renee Yohe

 

 

Still love u anyway

Christmas is so soon omg! you all ready? I have such a jam packed weekend I am so excited.
I was sick last weekend so I wasn't really able to do much but I'm going out tomorrow night to help with all the decoration thing. I'm actually really not looking forward to the amount I'm going to eat because I seriously love Christmas dinners more than anything.
However, I can't wait to get my new shoes ehe :D


The main things that happened today,
1) Ran for an hour nonstop.       2) completely rewrote my sisters essay.
I love writing essays and i love elaborating.


Anyway, i'm not sure if this is too much but I think I might invite someone to come on Thursday. We're having Christmas dinner at like 4/5 so I'm thinking I might invite someone for a little while. My mum actually suggested it, but I'm not too sure maybe it's too much...
Or i should like text someone or whatever and be like "Merry Christmas you!" and blahblah and then towards the end i'll be like "hey, if you're not doing anything later pass by for a while, traditional English dinner blabla"
LOL i sound like an idiot, but really, what should I do? helppppxx
