The Philosophers Stone

The Philosophers Stone tells the story of Jacob Fausstman a scientist and early alchemist who searches for the key to curing man of the disease of death In his frustration Jacob stumbles onto another path to achieve his goals Turning to the dark arts Jacob conjures the demon Mephistopheles and is given the key to eternal life But his perceptions of life eternal and the nature of his existence comes into question once he has obtained his desire for true knowledge Base in equal parts on the Faustian archetype and the biographical story of Dr Albert Hoffmanns accidental discovery of LSD The Philosophers Stone is an homage to early German Expressionist cinema and the psychedelic visualizations of drug culture
