PSYCHEDELIC PUPPET SHOW
What we DO!
The Psychedelic Puppet Show is a non-profit addressing a deep global need for connection, inclusivity, and understanding, combating stigma and misunderstanding surrounding psychedelics and non-ordinary states of consciousness.
Our platform is dedicated to creating content that awakens curiosity, encourages open dialogue, and invites audiences into a state of awe and wonder.
Art and storytelling have the transformative power to demystify these experiences, cultivate empathy, and build an interconnected global community.
We celebrate diverse perspectives and foster collaboration by supporting artists worldwide through commissions, grants, distribution, and revenue-sharing opportunities.

What We Do
We produce artist-led 5-minute mini-films exploring psychedelics, consciousness, mental health, and transformation—works that demystify, destigmatize, and invite deeper public conversation.
Each film is built around one resonant question—yours, ours, or one you choose from our curated list—and brought to life by a commissioned artist working in animation, live-action, collage, experimental video, or hybrid forms.
These aren't promotional videos. They're cultural artifacts: emotionally honest, visually striking, intellectually curious works distributed widely online, shown at festivals, used in education, and preserved as part of a growing archive of psychedelic culture.
How It Works
1. Choose or Propose a Question Select from our question bank or bring your own inquiry about meaning, healing, creativity, Indigenous knowledge, ethics, or the future of consciousness.
2. We Commission an Artist A filmmaker, animator, or visual storyteller develops the project with creative freedom and ethical rigor.
3. The Work Gets Made & Shared Your funding directly creates a finished film—distributed through our platform, collaborators' networks, film festivals, and educational channels.
4. The Conversation Grows Each project amplifies marginalized voices, challenges stigma, and contributes to public understanding of psychedelics and mental health.
Investment Levels
Base Project: $5,000 USD (≈ $6,800 CAD)Remote or conceptual work—animation, archival, narrated essays, experimental pieces
In-Person Interview Add-On: +$2,500 USD (≈ $3,400 CAD)Travel, on-location filming, expanded production
