With a trailer on YouTube, the team behind the documentary “It’s Going To Get Weirder” has launched a crowdfunding campaign to complete production. Supporters are being asked to donate toward finishing the film. The current matching campaign doubles incoming contributions up to a set limit.
“It’s Going To Get Weirder” is the first feature-length documentary about the life, legacy and influence of the psychedelic visionary, author and lecturer Terence McKenna. The film examines his ideas and their effect on the psychedelic field, science, technology and culture.
For the production, interviews were conducted with more than a dozen companions, friends and family members as well as leading voices from the psychedelic and technology worlds. Alongside previously unpublished stories and new perspectives, the film combines historical archive material with recent footage and animated sequences to tell McKenna’s unusual life story.
Directing and producing is Terence and Dennis McKenna’s cousin, Sharon McKenna. The animations are by Declan McKenna, and the music was composed by Péter Farkas. Peter Callister serves as executive producer.
The trailer gives a first impression of the visual design and thematic range of the project, which aims to bring the influence of one of the best-known thinkers of the psychedelic movement to a wider audience. The crowdfunding campaign is now intended to finance the final production steps and bring the film to release.
