    A 17 year journey finally completed
    "Open your $&@?!#% mind" the film said. Open your mind indeed. Because that seemingly normal man you see walking down the street isn't all he appears to be. Enter Adrian Sims, your average fashion photographer. Adrian harbors dark secrets. The film opens Adrian's mind to bring you on a nightmarish journey. On that journey, unsuspecting models meet ghastly ends via Adrian's straight razor, earning him the title "The Straight Man." Open your mind to opening Adrian's mind and see what horrors spill out in this reality twisting horror masterpiece from MagGot Films. Started by Michael Todd Schneider as a production with Toe Tag Pictures in 2003, Opening the Mind was put on hiatus after Michael split with Toe Tag and went on to create MagGot Films and bring us works such as ...And Then I Helped and Let's Make... A Horror Movie. 17 years later, the final in-house MagGot production has seen completion and release at last. Starring Eric James as Adrian and featuring other underground horror veterans such as Alan Rowe Kelly and Jasi Cotton Lanier, Opening the Mind is the ultimate MagGot Films coup de grace. Congrats Michael on completing your magnum opus. Congrats to Eric and everyone else involved as well.
