Times a God Zillion

A short film surrounding messages from my Mom from the after-life, heroic dosage psychedelic medicine rituals, and clearing spaces of shame, guilt, pain, and grief – home movies, images from the past, present, future, video games, a beloved 80’s film – inspired by personal work surrounding death and communicating with spirit.
