Cognition Factor is the world's first 'smart movie'. It has a dynamic way of presenting word, picture, music and opinion to increasingly informed audiences who are bored with media prescription. Read an independent review from the sneak preview at the Grahamstown Film Festival.

The plot is simple. One person's quest for enlightenment in the digital age during which the viewer is taken through a narrated virtual world in search of answers to the " Big Five" questions relating to the human experience.

Cognition Factor stitches live conversations with Terence Mckenna, brother Dennis Mckenna, along with Ralph Abraham, Rupert Sheldrake, Ralph Metzner, Alex Grey, and twenty more of the top thinkers of our times, into the plot. It's a narrated gonzo documentary, showcast inside a 3D landscape backed by original compositions from top musicians like Dr. Lx Paterson, Dom Beken and Phil Le Gonedic, of The ORB, Merv Pepler (EatStatic/Ozrik Tentacles), Colin Angus& Matt Catt (The Shamen/Pablo_Sandoz), Steve Hillage (System 7), brought together by South African ambient composer, performer and originator, Mike Martin - Indidginus.
