Dock Ellis and the LSD No-No

Doc Ellis & The LSD No-No

This animated short tells the story of Dock Ellis, a major league pitcher for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1970. One day, he thought he wasn’t on the pitching schedule, so he decided to take acid. It turned out, however, that he was in the starting lineup, so he went into the ballpark, fully tripping, and managed to throw a no-hitter.

Stone River

Deep in the Northeastern woods, working alone, one man is building a better world, one stone at a time. One very, very big stone. Placed very, very carefully. His tools are his hands, his back, a few metal implements. But his vision encompasses all of modern culture and its reformation. A film by Hal Clifford and Jason Houston for Orion magazine.
