The Cosmic Giggle (2012)

Director: Michael Armstrong
Producer: Michael Armstrong
Genre: Documentary / Experimental
Country: United States
Language: English

A personal reservoir of experience unique to each individual.

The Cosmic Giggle is an experimental documentary film that explores the human energy field’s dynamic relationship with our environment. Naturally as human beings, we are connected to a vast network of fluid information inherent to the world around us. When we are children, we are open to this field through simple innocent observance, but because of our collective evolution towards a dominating and fixated worldview, this perception becomes veiled. This film reveals how this process takes place and provides keys for returning to a more primal and authentic experience of our reality.

DMT: The Spirit Molecule (2010)

Director: Mitch Schultz
Producer: Rick Strassman, Mitch Schultz
Genre: Documentary / Independent Movie
Country: United States
Language: English / EN / DE / ES / PT / RO / RU subtitles

A sort of psychedelic Koyaanisqatsi meets
What the *Bleep* do We Know…?

This documentary investigates dimethyltryptamine (DMT), an endogenous psychoactive compound, which exists in humans and numerous species of plants and animals. Tracing Dr. Rick Strassman’s government-sanctioned, human DMT research and its many trials, tribulations, and inconceivable realizations. A closer examination of DMT’s effects through the lens of two traditionally opposed concepts, science and spirituality, The Spirit Molecule explores the connections between cutting-edge neuroscience, quantum physics and human spirituality. Strassman’s research, and the experiences of the human test subjects before, during, and after the intense clinical trials, raises many intriguing questions. Framing the story are stylized scenes reminiscent of the “Twilight Zone” bookends, featuring comedian Joe Rogan as your tour guide, helping navigate the expansive realms of the DMT universe.
