Hello, my name is Shelly Spotleson Sinclair.

The Achilles Heal (comedy/drama/mystery) is a Screenplay owned by Bri-Am Entertainment, an Independent Film Company, with a story that needs to be seen and heard. The budget reflects a professional - ensemble cast of players, with a highly experienced crew, and will be shot in southwest Colorado or Northern New Mexico.


  • The Achilles Heal — A Film That Heals

This is not a stoner comedy.
 It’s a story about love, resilience, and the power of alternative medicine. Set in a small town, The Achilles Heal follows an unexpected hero whose journey is catalyzed by Rick Simpson Oil—a potent symbol of healing and hope.

It’s a heartfelt story about the bond between a mother and son, and the healing of a small town. Through humor and heart, we aim to break down stigma around medical cannabis and offer a new narrative: one rooted in compassion, not controversy.

Just like Dallas Buyers Club reshaped how we talk about HIV, The Achilles Heal redefines the conversation around cannabis and community care.

Why Now?
With the explosion of recreational marijuana and growing awareness of its healing properties, this film couldn’t be more timely. We’re here to entertain, educate, and inspire—with a story that’s as real as it is uplifting.

This film is important because it uses Rick Simpson Oil—a high-THC, full-spectrum cannabis extract often linked to alternative medicine and reported healing benefits—as a catalyst for breaking down cannabis stigma and celebrating compassionate, relatable human stories, particularly the bond between a mother and son.
