Following hot on the heels of The Constant Gardener comes Side Effects, an independent movie about a pharmaceutical sales rep with a conscience, written and directed by former real-life pharmaceutical sales rep Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau.
Moschkau based the movie's storyline on her own 10-year experience as a pharmaceutical sales rep. Moschkau was seduced by the money and the fringe benefits, but as she came to realize that consumer wellness would always be superseded by company profits, she decided she would rather be unemployed than contribute any more to the industry.
Luckily, Moschkau kept some notes of her experience, which she used to develop the story of "Side Effects."
"Side Effects" has already taken the San Jose Cinequest Film Festival by storm with people having to be turned away from both scheduled showings of the movie.
See the movie trailer on the website. A DVD is on the way and there is also a competition. They also have a blog! It looks like Moschkau has lost none of her sales and marketing savvy!
