Comissioned by the Fire night club and the Metropolitan police as a warning to those who take GHB in clubs of the potencial fatal consequences of their actions.

"We commonly see people passing out on GHB in the clubs but we dont realize that some of those we see colapsing dont wake up."

    • Please have a look at my new film on GHB called "Deadly Clib Drug" which was aired this week on current TV as part of the "Wasted" season.

    • Thankx for all your comentaries. They are very honest and I appreciate criticism. The video was comissioned by a club and the metropolitan police. At the beggining they wanted it to be 20 minutes long and we discussed to make it shorter. We had 2 days to shoot it and three days to edit it. We work so hard on it that it felt dificult to cut scenes out (imatures filmakers!). It is always hard to "kill the babes", they say. The film was made for quite a especific audience (the clubbers of the venue we shot the film in). So, the frsit 7 minutes of the film intent to present to the audience the scenes that shows what all of them do when they come to the club. On that order: queuing, paying entrance, clocak room, buying a drink, dancing and then going to the toilets. Then the idea was to show the characther slowly feeling sick and then going to the hospital. The main point of the film was to point out that some of the people colapsing on GHB in the club sometimes end up in the emergency services of the local hospitals and some of them dont ever wake up.
