The Lunatics Project started under a different name, Films About Lunatics, because all we did at the beginning was make short films. Now the project has expanded to include Lunatics Radio Hour, Lunatics Magazine, Tarot and Divination, and tons of historic research.
But I wanted to create an archive and a page that celebrates our roots. And perhaps surfaces some of our films that may be new to you.
In no particular order. may I present the Films About Lunatics archive.
