The Addict was made specifically for entry into the 2005 Berlinale Talent Campus. Each year the campus invites select filmmakers from all over the world to take part in workshops, lectures etc.

The 2005 Campus'  competition was an official element to the Artistic and Cultural Program to the 2006 FIFA World Cup being held in Germany. The chosen films, including The Addict, were presented before Franz Beckenbauer and FIFA representatives and distributed on a compilation DVD by Bavarian Media and The Goethe Institute.
