Book Launch Event at Collected Works in Santa Fe
- Posted on 30th Nov
- Category: Production News
I’m happy to announce the launch of the book based on my film, Dying to Know: Ram Dass & Timothy Leary.
We always see films that are made from books. So why did we make a book from a film?
The consistent thirst for the film prompted the Love Serve Remember Foundation and myself to create this book. We wanted to extend and illuminate the insights revealed by these iconic beings contemplating our greatest mystery, death. This just published, book provides a touchstone to more fully absorb the wisdom of the film, including new images and rare photographs. The book also provides an extensive list of resources for further contemplation.
And if you are contemplating a unique holiday gift perhaps this might be it?!?Please join us for an in-store event ay Collected Works, December 8 at 4:30 and live-streamed to Zoom, register here for Zoom.
You can pre-purchase Dying to Know ($24.99, hardcover) from Collected Works online here or by calling the store to order (505) 988-4226. Signed copies will be available after the event.
We will also be offering a link to stream the film with a purchase of the book. https://dyingtoknowmovie.com
Please share this invitation if you are so inclined. We hope to see you at Collected Works on December 8!
Deep bow to all,
Gay

The Psychdelia Podcast: Interview with Gay Dillngham
- Posted on 16th Mar
- Category: Production News
On this episode of the Psychedelia Podcast, we speak to Gay Dillingham: filmmaker, environmentalist and producer. Gay has just released a film 20 years in the making, “Dying to Know”, a documentary about the relationship between two of the most influential people in the history of modern psychedelics, Timothy Leary and Richard Alpert (or Ram Dass). The film brings us to face with the taboo of death and how the psychedelic experience can help our society come to terms with mortality. Here, Gay discusses the making of the film, along with her own encounters with death and tragedy, and how psychedelics could begin to change the way we view mortality.
