WHAT A TRIP: Rick Doblin's Journey to Legalize Psychedelics

Donation protected

Hi! Welcome to our GoFundMe for "WHAT A TRIP" - a film about Rick Doblin's unlikely 50 year journey to legalize psychedelics. We have been filming for over 9-years, following Dr. Doblin and his team at MAPS as they work to make MDMA into a prescription medicine to help treat PTSD. Our film will be released after MDMA is rescheduled and will tell the true story of how this unlikely team achieved what many thought to be impossible, and helped to transform mental health care for millions.

My name is Nirvan, I'm the director of this film. My sister Dream Mullick (Producer) and I have been working this film since 2014, capturing critical moments along the way. We are excited to bring this story to the world!

WHEN WILL THIS FILM BE RELEASED?
Our film will be released after MDMA is rescheduled by the FDA to become a prescription drug (estimated to happen in August of 2024), and will tell the incredible true story of how that happened.

HOW WILL FUNDS BE USED?
Funds will help us to continue to follow Rick and MAPS with filming over the next year and to help with editing and post-production.

$25,000 FUNDRAISING GOAL
Raising $25,000 will help us start our edit while we continue to film more interviews and scenes with Rick and the MAPS team as they navigate the complex challenges of commercializing MDMA-assisted therapy.

STRETCH GOALS:

$50,000: HELPS US GO FURTHER!
Helps with ongoing production, and will let us travel with Rick and MAPS to capture more of the work they are doing to expand psychedelic therapy around the world.

$100,000 - $250,000: FILMING AND EDITING
This will allow us to continue filming over the next year and to bring on an editor

$500,000: FILMING + EDITING AND KEY POST-PRODUCTION
This will allow us to put together a rough cut. We will be able to continue production and hire a full-time editor for the 12 - 16 months we estimate it will take to edit this movie.

CREDIT TIERS:
We are giving Special Thanks credits to donors who give $5000 or more. We have $50k "Made Possible with" credits and $100k Contributing Producer credit tiers. For higher tier donations (including Executive Producer and Presented By credits), please contact us to discuss.

CAN I MAKE A TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION?
Donations via GoFundMe are not tax-deductible. If interested in making a tax deductible donation, it will need to go through our fiscal sponsor. Please visit our film website or contact ss via WhatATrip.Film if you would like some info about making a larger tax-deductible donation or EP donation.
