My name is Dimitra Anderson and I just watched the documentary Healing Humanity. At the end of the screening, they're going to fill out a very scientific survey and I'm going to share all of those results with you at the very end. Did they hate it? Did they walk out? Did we get some angry vegan mob? They're saying, "Why did you invite me to this thing?" Stay tuned till the very end and I'm going to share the results with you.
I'll come on the screen. I'm pretty much famous.
I've been a doctor. Are you nervous? Are you terrified? I am. I'm so darn close to this. Maybe we missed the mark. These people, they're only coming cuz we're paying them. They're completely blind. They don't have any clue. That would never happen.
I'm vegan. What are we doing? We're going to the world famous Montello Theater. We're going to do a test screening of Healing Humanity: The Power of a Proper Human Diet.
A little over 3 and 1/2 years ago, my wife Jen and I took over the Montello Theater together. Which is just crazy to me that we own our little small town movie theater. And then shortly after that, I found a proper human diet. I've lost 100 lbs since my heaviest. I got off all my medications. Do you know what I do with these now? I don't need any of those pills anymore. Horrible depression gone. IBS gone. Stop snoring almost the first week. All of this stuff happened which is just crazy.
And then I went around the world. Emma and I have some big plans, right? Yeah. And we want to make a documentary on the carnivore diet. I would love to have like Dr. Barry and then I'd like to have some real people like maybe someone out there is 300 lb and they're starting carnivore and we follow their whole journey through the documentary for weight loss like for health.
That's our goal is to help as many people as we possibly can. And I hung out with Harvard trained psychiatrist, a doctor that does brain surgery, a heart surgeon, all these good doctors that are actually helping people heal and tons of individuals who have found healing. Film this documentary. All of this is within like 3 and 1/2 years. We bought the movie theater and then in like 3 years, under 3 years, filmed the whole documentary.
And now we're going there and for the first time the general public is going to watch the rough cut of Healing Humanity. We're doing a screener to the general public. These people are coming in totally blind. I fully expect many of them might be upset. Some of them might be vegetarian or vegan. They might get up and walk out. I'm vegan. I don't know what's going to happen.
Um it's just surreal that we're going to Montello Theater. It's going to be a full packed house and these people are going to watch a film on the Montello Theater big screen. I feel like at some point I'm going to wake up and all of this was a dream and my wife Jen is going to be patting me on the head. I'm going to be drooling in a mental hospital and she's going to be saying, "Sure, 100 lb. Sure you did. I only eat meat. Okay, hun. I ate meat and my congestive heart failure healed. Sure it did. I own my own movie theater. Yep. I'm friends with all sorts of doctors. Sure you are. A movie we made will inspire millions. Sure it will. I don't ever get sunburned anymore because I eat meat. Okay, time to rest."
Let's all go to the movies. This is crazy. This is all of the non-disclosure surveys afterwards for them to fill out. Let's all go to the movies. Turn on a whole bunch of buttons and switches. Jen's going to come up here at the precise 1 hour 56 minutes and 40 seconds. And she has to hit stop on the projector, and then she has to switch it to the credits.
Hi, Adam. Adam, what's going on today? We are showing Healing Humanity to a group of unsuspecting folks that hopefully we get a positive reaction from. We're trying to inform the edit, the final edit, final cut. Are you terrified? I am. I'm so darn close to this. Maybe we missed the mark. Maybe we screwed something up. Maybe the general public just doesn't get this or this or this or it's too confusing because I'm so close to it. It's hard to know.

I'm a little nervous about that. Plus, who watches a movie basically with a gun to their head? These people, they're only coming cuz we're paying them. They're completely blind. They don't have any clue. That would never happen in the real world.
Yes. because it will. You got to be careful with it cuz it will scratch like finish after like uh tonight the movie is Solo Mayo and that's playing at 7:00 p.m. and it's playing tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.
Welcome the screen. I'm pretty much famous. That's fine. How's everyone doing? Has anyone ever been to a test screening of a movie before? No. I didn't think so. Neither have I. So, I really appreciate everyone coming out. Two hours later. There's a QR code up there and you're able to do that. That was good.
Hey, I'm Brian Schulz. I just watched Healing Humanity.
All right, the results are in and I'm going to share them with you right now. This was a very scientific survey. We've did a test screening at Montello Theater and then we did another test screening at the Town Cinema about an hour away. Completely different participants, 134 and they were blind. We didn't tell them anything about carnivore. We said, "We'll pay you $15 to go to a test screening of a documentary about nutrition." We did newspaper ads and Facebook ads. 48% of the attendees were eating a standard American diet.
Uh let me show you some of the results. So, out of our test audience, an incredible, amazing, ridiculous 86% rated the film excellent or very good, 14% mixed or neutral, zero said poor. That is a crazy result when you are forcing someone to come into something blind. Especially in my opinion, when we're talking about food or nutrition, talking about someone's food or nutrition or diet is just like talking about politics or religion. It's very divisive. The fact that we were able to score an 86% is crazy to me.
Here's the one that really blew my mind. 90% nine out of 10 of our blind audience said they would indeed recommend Healing Humanity to friends or family.
Okay, here's the the last part I want to share. How likely are you to try to change your diet? Think about that from a blind audience. 83%. I would have seriously and honestly been happy if we got 50%. Like half the people that came are really willing to try this.
Here's the other qualitative evidence that we got. Multiple viewers cried during the screening. Loved it. Cried a lot. It really inspired me. It really touched my heart. We got all sorts of comments like that. Direct declarations of immediate action. I'm going to do this. I will be trying this. I am going to try the carnivore diet somehow. You definitely convinced me to try it.
Now, here's the craziest part of all of this. I was just looking like, gee, I hope they enjoy this film. I hope it resonates with them. I hope that they understand it. That's all I was concerned about. But what happened afterwards, what happened after the screening absolutely blew my mind. We planned to do the film and then 15 minutes of the survey, which we did, and then another 15 minutes of Q&A session. Give us a little window of time. This is what happened in the Q&A that was supposed to last 15 minutes. We had to ask people to leave two and a half hours later.
What does that tell you? These people were so engaged and so interested. Many of them like there was a lot of people there after two hours, two and a half hours later like we got a we got a movie coming up later. We we got to go. What I didn't realize was this yearning for hope, yearning for help, yearning for answers, yearning for good doctors like we had in this documentary. That is why those people stayed and that is why they asked all of those amazing questions.
The other thing that blew my mind, multiple people that attended these, we paid them $15, which is an industry standard, by the way. This isn't uncommon. A lot of films will pay $20 or $25 to get someone to come in blind. Multiple, as in many individuals at the end when they walked out, I said, "Go meet Jen at the thing. She'll give you your $15 in cash." Multiple individuals said, "You know what? You keep that money." This was so good. You keep that money, you pay it forward to someone. That's exactly what happened.
27 viewers took away messages of hope and healing as their main takeaway. We also got some valuable insights on what to improve or change, trim it down a little bit, and a few edits around the sound where the music was a bit loud, where people were talking. Um, those edits are going to be worked on by our editor next. And the other thing he's going to be working on next is the credits and finishing the credits.
Now, we had credits at the test screening. Those were credits that I cobbled together at the last minute. Our editor hadn't gotten to those yet. And I have had one person just email me and someone asked me about this last week. Can I still get my name in the credits? When we first announced this, we said, if you do a donation of $500 or more, you can have your name listed in bold in the credits. only donations of $500 or more are getting listed in the credits. Someone just emailed me literally five minutes ago and said, "Can I still do that?" The answer is yes. And the answer is, "We need the money because I want this to reach millions."
You can have the best restaurant in the world with Gordon Ramsay working at it. If nobody knows about it, nobody's going to go eat there. We have to market this thing and it's one of the most expensive parts of this project. So, any donation we get that's $500 or above, your name will be in the credits, but you have to do it quick because we are we're done. John, our editor, is wrapping up the credits and these last final changes we got from this thing and then we're going to be announcing to you where everyone can watch this where it will be available. That will happen as soon as we're done with these edits.
So, if you want to get your name in the credits, you can do so. Link in the description below. Go to our gofundme $500 or more.
My name is Dimitra Anderson and I just watched the documentary Healing Humanity. I would urge everyone to watch it as healing is available to everyone and it's not going to come through a bottle of pills.
Hey, I'm Brian Schulz. I just watched Healing Humanity test screen. Loved it. Very informative, very interesting. It inspires you to think and ask questions though because a lot of people are confused. Well, I've always been taught this and it's hard to break that paradigm. But it doesn't hurt anything to learn more.
My name is Elizabeth Webb and I just watched Healing Humanity. We saw the little description in the newspaper and came right over because we were reading it just as this was all starting. I'm vegan. I'm a wannabe vegan and I'm like hm carnivore. But I was so inspired though to come and and here it is right in my community right where I live. So I'm on board. I'm excited and I just can't wait to figure out where to go buy meat.
