"There is an eerie sense of mystery..." writes Michael Gingold in a great Rue Morgue review of The Protos Experiment, script by Brian Avenet-Bradley and myself. Full review here rue-morgue.com/pkd-festival...

PKD Festival ’25 Movie Review: Indie sci-fi/horror “THE PROTOS EXPERIMENT” has arresting results - Rue Morgue
[The filmmakers’] emphasis remains on mood and tension rather than tech gimmickry…their imagination is expressed in the way they elicit their strange and oppressive world on a very modest budget.

Technologically-assisted art before the internet: "Brion Gysin’s whirling Dreamachine No 9 lantern and Marina Apolloni’s Circular Dynamics 6S+S, which resembles a rotating tondo by Bridget Riley, are all the more trippy for their technical simplicity."

Check out the amazing book trailer for The Protos Experiment. It gives a powerful flavour of the film I scripted with Brian Avenet-Bradley. Dystopian psychological horror set in a prison that is nothing less than hell on Earth.

Been just on 10 years since I gave this talk. It was a condensed version of two longer lectures at the time. Still think it's a pretty good run down of how cinematic depictions of psychedelics in the 60s and 70s effectively mirrored cultural attitudes to the drugs.
