Be warned. Your mind will be reconfigured after these curious expeditions into the far reaches: The Mythologist (dir. John Lundberg, 2004, 27 min.) concerns a latter-day Walter Mitty — a crop circle/UFO/paranormal researcher who seems to revel in the netherworld between lies and secret knowledge. LSD A Go Go (dir. Scott Calonico, 2004, 10 min.) shows how quickly things went awry after the CIA embarked on a mind control program in the '50s that included having some agents take LSD. Spotters (dir. Katherine Leggett/Davina Pardo, 2004, 8 min.) plunges us into the world of plane spotters, who scour the skies looking for planes to add to their lists. Devil's Mask (dir. Jonathan Culp, 2004, 5 min.) is a crazed romp through one man's genealogy. Devil's Teeth (dir. Roger Teich, 2005, 9 min.) is about a sea urchin diver who works the California coast, even though he regularly encounters enormous sharks. The Brokaw Hoax (dir. Rory O'Connor, 2004, 10 min.) tells of a fraudulent first-hand report from the Panama Invasion aired by NBC News that evidently was called in from a suburban Indianapolis home.
