‘SACRAMENT’
A scientific quest for communion with divinity
What is reality?
Anton Bilton, an English businessman, had a mystical experience when he was 15. It put him on a quest to explore the reality of encounters of other worldly beings through the intake of psychedelics, in particular DMT (N-Dimethyltriptanmine), one of the strongest entheogens there is. This spiritual journey around the world takes Bilton from the science lab to the indigenous origins of these substances and experiences.
In the mid 90s Rick Strassman conducted the first scientific experiment with DMT that was documented in his book and the film ‘DMT - The Spirit Molecule’. ‘SACRAMEMT’ is walking in its footsteps taking it even further, where no-one has ever gone before. In an experiment conducted by Imperial College London, science goes to its limits to find out of spirits actually exist.
Participants: Rick Strassman, Graham Hancock, Dennis McKenna, Rupert Sheldrake, Roland Griffiths, Alex and Allyson Grey, Daniel Pinchbeck and many more.
Feature length documentary.
Coming 2024.

'Follow your bliss but be prepared to be your nightmare!'
From all outside appearances, Mark seems to have the glamorous New York City life that many would envy. Handsome and always impeccably dressed, the charismatic former male model works as a fashion photographer, appears in movies and attends the best parties. When he leaves those events, however, he heads to the East Village— not to an overpriced loft, but to a hidden corner of a rooftop to sleep each night. HOMME LESS exposes the dark underbelly of the American Dream in an often-merciless city.
Directed, filmed, sound-recorded and co-edited by Thomas Wirthensohn
Produced by Filmhaus Vienna and Schatzi Productions in association with Thought Engine, NYC.
Producers: Wolfgang Ramml, Karol Martesko-Fenster, Thomas Wirthensohn
