I’m a documentary filmmaker and professional film editor who’s always gravitated towards historical and biographical storytelling. My work as an editor has been featured on the national networks of PBS and Showtime, as well as major news brands like People magazine. As an independent producer, my films have been shown in museums, international film festivals, and in-studio on Channel 13 in New York City.

This project began several years ago while I was a student at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. At the time, I heard about a study using psilocybin to ease existential distress among people who were diagnosed with cancer and struggling with facing the end of life. As a self-taught student of the 1960s, reader of Timothy Leary, and fan of the Grateful Dead I was both mystified and intrigued by this institutional use of psychedelics.

Today we are in the so-called “psychedelic renaissance,” much of which gained momentum while I was making this film. By getting in early, I was lucky enough to gain access to characters and stories that are now difficult to capture. It was a labor of love for many years, and I’m thrilled to finally share it with audiences around the world.
