Firebelly Films has unveiled the official trailer for writer-director Leigh Brooks’ psychedelic documentary Magic in the Mundane ahead of its digital release this coming week.
Described as a “cinematic journey into the overlooked miracles of everyday existence”, the doc gathers philosophers, psychedelic guides, death doulas, trauma workers, ritual keepers and pilgrims to ask the question: “Who are we when no one is watching?”
“When I started making Magic in the Mundane, I felt like something was missing from the way I was experiencing the world,” said Brooks. “18 months later, I’ve met some incredible people, been down more rabbit holes than I can count, and somehow ended up with even more questions than when I started. The people I met along the way shaped the film into what it is. It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life to craft Magic in the Mundane, and I’m so grateful to everyone who opened their world to me.”
What if the extraordinary has been hiding in plain sight all along? Magic in the Mundane is a cinematic journey into the overlooked miracles of everyday existence. Filmed across breathtaking landscapes and intimate spaces, this feature length documentary gathers philosophers, writers, psychedelic guides, death doulas, trauma workers, ritual keepers, pilgrims, pantheists, pagans and thinkers to explore where wonder lives when we’re not looking for it.
Magic in the Mundane is set for release in the US, UK and Australia on November 11th 2026.
