“the Million-dollar Screenwriting

Marc Lardin is psycho. For fifteen years he works with most clients poquées. Ex-offenders, addicts. His specialty projects "extreme." Dicey business with a clientele at high risk.
As this trip, organized two years ago, with eight young addicts. Addicts, there is agreement, not with the small stock: crack, cocaine, amphetamines. Marc took these eight young people aged 20, 25, who drank for years. They all had behavior problems, enormous social problems.
He was taken to a cottage, surrounded by nature. No access possible to dope. Everyone has his weaning surrounded by greenery. He gave English classes, workshops, personal development, but also navigation. Because after these fifteen weeks in a small cottage, young people went to sail in the Gulf of St. Lawrence for nearly two months.
They sailed on the Bay of Chaleur, landed in the Magdalen Islands, Sydney, Nova Scotia.
"They sailed, but they mostly negotiated," Mark laughs by recounting their adventure. "When it farted, it was picking up everything." And it was Marc, of course, as the only adult involved on the boat, who "picked up everything." Marc, a rock of calm, strength, firmness quiet. Cool , but demanding. Sympathetic, but candid. "People know that I will tell them if their business did not make sense."
After 23 weeks of cohabitation, negotiation, adventure, the lives of these young people has been transformed. "They managed to stop consumption. All they found a purpose in life. It was a success, "said Marc. A young returned to school. The other became a restaurant manager.
Marc strongly believes that such experience, "Striking", helps to give these young people what they missed in their early childhood that their parents were never able to give them: the feeling of being loved.
"If they were plunged back in a severe, they will learn. If they are bombarded with challenges, energy can be successfully reprogrammed. "
If Marc did his master's degree in psychoeducation, it would be his subject. Cursed beautiful subject.
And for the boat, I'll tip my hat aloft, Marc.
