HIGH
An ambitious and cinematic four-part series on the relationship between popular music and drugs. The series focus on weed, cocaine, speed, heroin, the psychedelics, MDMA, and opioids and explore the way in which each drug affects the way we listen to and make music, the positive impact as well as the destructive shadow. Featured directors will include Grant Gee, Nichola Bruce and Geoff Brown. Originally inspired by a book by rock writer and drugs consultant Harry Shapiro, and developed in collaboration with Christian Popp of Tag Films (Paris) and Susan Turley of XRM Media (LA) – the team behind Mark Kidel’s “Becoming Cary Grant”.
Developed with support from the European Union Media Programme.
