FASD Hope is a podcast series about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), through the lens of parent advocates with over eighteen years of lived experience.
On this 22nd episode of FASD Hope, Natalie Vecchione (podcast host) speaks with Joel Sheagren, Director and Co-Producer of the documentary film project "Embraced, Truth About Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. Joel is a veteran director, producer and director of photography who has served in the advertising industry for nearly 30 years. In 2015, Joel started directing and producing films. His first film was "CRACKED ICE", which ran on the Hulu Network. Cracked Ice was based on the history of racing cars on frozen lakes in Minnesota. He is also the co-founder of a non-profit called Hope and Rescue Foundation - a nonprofit addressing human trafficking and the issues driving this insidious practice... FASD and Mental Health are driving issues.
Joel is married. He and his wife, Kim, have two children. Their son Sam, now 18, was diagnosed with an FASD 3 1/2 years ago. Joel's current project is the documentary "Embraced: Truth About Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders", to sound the alarm concerning the dangers of drinking during pregnancy.
During their inspirational and hope-filled conversation, Joel and Natalie discuss the following topics: Joel's personal background (and his family's journey in FASD) and his professional experience, the development of the Embraced film project, the format and vision for this film, the film's intended audience and the status of the Embraced film project.
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen." - Ephesians 3:20-21
