Do you get high? Well, now you can do it legally in Colorado. Legalization has opened a Pandora’s box of cultural, economic, and political issues, most of which are still developing. Essentially, Colorado is a guinea pig in a social experiment. And now, there’s a team documenting Colorado’s journey towards marijuana normalization. The Denver Documentary Collective is currently shooting a feature length documentary entitled “Rolling Papers.” The filmmaking team is composed of co-directors Mitch Dickman and Daniel Junge; director of photography Zachary Armstrong; and producers Britta Erickson, Karl Kister, Alison Greenberg Millice, and Katie Shapiro. Junge and Greenberg Millice each took home an Oscar for their short 2012 documentary “Saving Face.” Now the team is collaborating to tell the interlacing stories of the cultural, economic and political aspects of legalization. The objective goal of the project is to complete a rough cut in the fall of 2014 in time to submit.
