Much like Willy Wonka opening his doors to the world, the film invites audiences inside the mind of Dr. Ashkan Pitchforth; a mysterious and battle-scarred visionary steering South Cliff Dental Group through rapid expansion and revolutionary innovation within a strained healthcare system.

This is an intimate portrait of Ashkan at his most vulnerable: navigating personal collapse, health struggles, addiction, heartbreak, and a professional investigation that threatens everything he has built. Featuring never-before-seen footage, The Cliff’s Edge reveals the resilience, ambition, and raw humanity of a man balancing genius and self-destruction.

As Ashkan rebuilds, embracing sobriety and a renewed purpose, the documentary traces his metamorphosis into a bold, disruptive leader reshaping the future of dentistry. Richly textured and visually striking, it confronts the myths and controversies that have surrounded him: his lifestyle, his image, and the questions that have echoed throughout the profession.

“The Cliff’s Edge” is not just a film about dentistry: it’s a study of reinvention, redemption, and the cost of vision.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate innovation, courage, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.
