About the Filmmaker Doc's daughter and Oscar-nominated filmmaker We're still passing the hat to get the film to its audience | Expert blending of period documentary footage...Deliciously ironic! – Bruce Bennett, The New York Sun An extraordinary true story! – Elizabeth Bachner, Film-Forward ![]() Scientist, novelist, activist, inventor, filmmaker, architect, prophet, healer, and madman Harold L. 'Doc' Humes was, by all accounts, an exhilarating, infuriating and terrifyingly brilliant man.
His Oscar-nominated documentarian daughter Immy
Humes has gathered testimonials from luminaries including Norman Mailer,
William Styron and Timothy Leary...
Fascinating, wryly distanced documentary. Casual footage from the era captures the excitement
of liberation and the headiness of artistic ferment...Immy imaginatively
segues from unexpected angles, mapping out the complex historical, cultural and
personal synapses that link the man to his times... –
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
