Join The Metamorphosis Community for a special screening event of the acclaimed documentary film, The Last Ecstatic Days, followed by an exclusive Q&A with the director, Scott Kirschenbaum. The film tells the compelling and inspiring story of Ethan Sisser, a "psychedelic student" who was diagnosed with stage-4 brain cancer, and chose to have a documentary crew follow the incredible journey of his death process, surrounded by loving community support. Ethan's powerful story will give you a new lease on life--as he shows you a new way to "live like you were dying." 

Kirschenbaum’s films include the Alzheimer’s documentary “YOU’RE LOOKING AT ME LIKE I LIVE HERE, AND I DON’T,” which aired on PBS’ Emmy award-winning program Independent Lens, and serves as a teaching tool for nonprofits, universities, public libraries and conferences; the speaker series “A SOAPBOX IN HAITI” which was featured on ABC World News, premiered on Haitian television stations on the one-year anniversary of the earthquake and is taught in Haitian studies programs; the birth documentary “These Are My Hours,” which was called “the most cinematic birth documentary ever” by No Film School and has been distributed and taught in birth courses worldwide; “ELEMENTARY COOL,” about a young Sudanese refugee girl’s first day at an American elementary school, which premiered nationally at Playworks’ PlayOn Conference; and “JUMOR: A JOURNEY THROUGH JEWISH HUMOR,” a documentary about lovely (and curmudgeonly) old Jews.
