Savage Messiah: Ken Russell / Re: Music Videos by Jon Sorensen
« Last post by Iain Fisher on Yesterday at 08:34:49 PM »
I do like Alien Blood, and play it on DVD every so often.  Your commentary was exceptionally good and helpful for people wanting to make a first film.  I also saw Alien Blood on Dutch TV with Dutch subtitles.  It is on Amazon (DVD and Prime Video) with a different cover from my version.

I also liked your talk on working on Alien, so good insights.  And your two related films- the maritime Alien and the romantic Alien.

When you can tell us how the new film is coming on.

Savage Messiah: Ken Russell / Altered States in Hollywood, USA
« Last post by Iain Fisher on May 03, 2025, 08:11:26 PM »
The Vista Theatre Hollywood present Altered States on 30, 21 May 2025.

"It's the late 1960's. Just for a lark, graduate student Eddie Jessup, known for being unconventional, brilliant and slightly mad, conducts experiments with an isolation chamber, using himself as the subject. His experiences in the chamber cause him to hallucinate, much of the imagery being religious-based despite he not being a religious man. Seven years later, he is a respected full professor in the Harvard Medical School. Believing he has lost his edge and has fallen into an unwanted state of respectability, Eddie decides to resume his work with sensory deprivation, this time using hallucinogens, specifically untested ones used in mystical Mexican rituals, to enhance the experience of being in the isolation tank. After initial tests, he claims he entered an alternate physical and mental state".
