Candy Flip: A Psychedelic Celebration of Music, Film and Electric Vibes

To honor Bicycle Day, the 82nd anniversary of Dr. Albert Hofmann’s paradigm shifting first LSD trip, we’ll be screening two psychedelic documentary films from Very Ape.

First, Sweet Nothing (21 minutes), where a controversial internet personality/sex-worker Aella takes a heroic dose of acid in Woodstock, NY, diving deep into her psyche and confronting her religious trauma.

After a brief intermission we’ll round out the candy flip with Family Trip (26 minutes), in which a mother and daughter undergo a therapeutic journey with MDMA in an attempt to heal generational trauma created by addiction, neglect and racism.

A conversation with the filmmakers Sean Dunne and Cass Greener to follow - moderated by The Ungoogleable Michaelangelo.

Church of Chill isn’t a building. It’s a frequency we can all tap into—a defiance against the noise and rush of a world that’s rife with grifters and shape shifters. It’s a space we carve out inside ourselves, a quiet rebellion against the relentless pace, a sanctuary nestled in the deepest corners of our being.

It is sacred in its simplicity. Music is the sacrament, the rhythm that binds us, the melody that heals. We’re a crew of like-minded heads, not bound by location, but by the vibration we share. It’s a place to listen and connect. Church of Chill isn’t about escaping reality; it’s about finding power through the chaos, surfing the mystic seas together and building a community that’s real, untamed, and unbreakable.

Church of Chill was conceived by Sean and Cass of Very Ape. Together they’ve made over 15 films, host the Very Ape Podcast and have over 222 curated musical journeys. For seven years, Church of Chill has existed as a flourishing community of artists and seekers. veryape.tv

He is a “bardo bard”, equipped with a quickSilver tongue and mercurial mind, who utilizes pareidolia, wit, wordplay, and a 6th sense of humor to investigate where the limits of language meet the fringes of reality.

His work finds expression through visual art, written and spoken word, film, music, and performance.

He is the host and creator of the podcast Self Portraits As Other People, and the author of The He & The She of It and Impatient Transformations.

He is none of the things he says he is, and more.
