If you're a fan of offbeat comedies and rock ‘n' roll, then “Free LSD” is the film you need to put on your watchlist this summer. Directed by OFF!'s frontman Dimitri Coats, making his feature directorial debut, this wacky sci-fi adventure dives headfirst into the multiverse with a punk rock twist.
The film centers around Keith, played by the legendary Keith Morris, who also fronts the band OFF!. Keith is an elderly sex shop owner who falls for a younger woman, sparking a chain of events that leads him to an experimental erectile dysfunction doctor. This isn't just any ordinary treatment; it opens the door to an alternate reality where Keith's band, OFF!, becomes the target of an advanced AI species determined to stop their music from awakening human consciousness.
Joining Morris in this eclectic cast are Autry Fulbright II, DH Peligro, Chelsea Debo, David Yow, James Duval, Barry Del Sherman, Dana Gould, Chris D., Chloe Dykstra, and a special appearance by Jack Black, who adds his signature comedic flair. The ensemble's chemistry and comedic timing bring life to this zany plot, making it a must-see for fans of both comedy and sci-fi.
“Free LSD” had its premiere at the 2023 Slamdance Film Festival and is set to hit VOD on August 9th, 2024.
