Synopsis
A research scientist explores the boundaries and frontiers of human consciousness. Using sensory deprivation and hallucinogenic mixtures from Native American shamans, he explores these altered states of cognizance and finds that memory, time, and reality itself are states of mind.

Cinematic Threads
The first scene that came to mind was from Ken Russell’s Altered States, which is a kind of trippy movie about a scientist trying to find an alternate state of mind using drugs and sensory deprivation. And I was like, “Oh, this is a great start.”
