Request to DEA for all 2024 movie collaborations

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

A list of all the films that the Drug Enforcement Administration has participated in the production of, in any capacity whatsoever, for the year 2024. Any and all such lists, full or partial, would be appreciated and may include, but are not limited to, entertainment liaison (ELO) reports, production assistance agreements, or similar internal documents. I request that you search for these documents in any location where they might be located, including but not limited to the entertainment liaison offices, public affairs offices, and communications HQ.

I am the Director of Research Operations at a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization called The Decoding Culture Foundation as well as the editor-in-chief and a contributor to a research magazine published by said foundation titled "Cultural Engineering Studies." These documents will be used for public education and research purposes. I therefore request a waiver of all fees that may otherwise apply. Attached is a document with organization letterhead confirming my position, as well as the organization's 501(c)(3) application and approval form.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Brett Carollo
