Mia (Caitlin Acken Taylor), a rebellious young art student, can’t stand her creative block anymore, so there’s only one logical path to finding inspiration: partaking in an underground drug known as Lucid, naturally. The results of Lucid, however, aren’t quite what she’d hoped for, leading her down a psychedelic path of unearthed past traumas and encounters with demons and other freaky beings that may or may not be real. A visually decadent and singular debut from co-directors Deanna Milligan and Ramsey Fendall, LUCID, shot on both 16mm and 35mm, is a punk rock blast of DIY innovation that breaks rules, goes for broke, and signals the arrival of two audacious new genre film voices. —Matt Barone
