SPEAKER BIO:
Pat Murphy, a documentary filmmaker and professional film editor has always gravitated towards historical and biographical storytelling. Pat’s 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, his films have been shown in museums, international film festivals, and in-studio on Channel 13 in New York City. Psychedelia has been independently shown at Telluride Mushroom Festival and at other local city events.
Psychedelia Documentary:
The History and Science of Mystical Experience
COMING TO SAN DIEGO THEATER 2022!
The documentary chronicles the use of psychedelic substances in controlled research studies that began in the 1960s. The film tells the story of medical professionals who have re-introduced these compounds into a legal and growing field of study. It is a first-person account from a study on end-of-life anxiety exploring the profound, life-altering insights psychedelics induce in participants and what these insights might mean for society at large. There is a current expanding push to explore the efficacy of using psychedelics for several mental health disorders.
