From an early age, Mitch's curiousity of the unknown universe forged his path in storytelling. With over 20 years of creative experience as a transmedia producer, experience designer, and educator, his work explores the inherent connections among consciousness, nature, culture, and the evolving human mythology. In the early ‘90s the confluence of art, information, and technology became the perfect storm for the germination of ideas that continue to inspire him today. Schultz's academic research (‘95-‘03) at UT Austin and New York University focused on communication theory, information technology, and media production. In 2009, Mitch decided to focus exclusively on his personal creative vision. As a result, his first documentary, DMT: The Spirit Molecule, premiered two years later and became an instant cult classic.
