Synopsis

*How to Operate Your Brain* is a 29-minute guided electronic meditation, combining spoken and musical elements. In the piece, Dr. Timothy Leary aims to convey key insights from his visionary experiences with LSD. Although it may have been designed for use with psychedelic drugs to help establish the positive "set" and "setting" he considered crucial for a successful "trip," the work functions effectively as a standalone, profound guided meditation. It includes some of the core sacred principles of Yoism.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
