I am probably the only person in the world who hasn’t ever heard about Montauk before now. I’m really looking forward to end result of the Movie though after watching the trailer, well done! I have no questions as yet as I’m still looking into it all. Thanks for dropping by.
Drex, I never thought about the possibility of wormhole's, it never crossed my mind... yet.

Hello,
Yes, there is a major connection between the Montauk theories and the (proven) MK Ultra experiments. According to my subjects all mind control programs are linked. In the film I use MK ULTRA as an example of why we (as a society) should not turn a blind eye to the so called "conspiracy nuts." Granted, there are tons of lies and madness to sift through but we need to keep clear heads and realize that the powers that be are not and have not all been kind to us. We need to keep in mind that there are forces that are not working with our best interest in mind. We need to also do our best to not let paranoia take over.
Regards,
Christopher P. Garetano

IN REPLY TO BLACKY... Essentially Montauk Chronicles is broken into chapters that are divided into three acts. The first act is the history of Montauk and Camp Hero. It's also the set up for the second act where we're introduced to the men who claim were there. The majority of the second act is comprised of interviews with Alfred Bielek, Stewart Swerdlow, and Preston Nichols. It's also my best attempt at illustrating the stories for you in an entertaining cinematic way. The third act is very different and this is where we begin to break things down and question the absurd nature of some of the stories. I never make fun of the tales but I do begin to compare them to what we do know. We know that there are many elements to the tales that (if we do our research) surprisingly enough are full of as many scary truths as there are absurdities. I can't wait for you all to see the film. Regards, Christopher P. Garetano

IN REPLY TO DREXTIN....
I appreciate what you're saying. I myself designed Montauk Chronicles more as a study of the power of suggestion than a display of someones crazy story. I never once in the film claim that these ideas are true as stated. There's a desire in most people to have mysteries in their lives and they fill voids in the monotony of their lives with said mysteries. In many cases this behavior is dangerous and it leads to paranoia, madness, anxiety, suicide, you name it. This is all discussed in my film. What's also discussed is that if we're to be overly skeptical we might miss the hidden truths in our world. Sometimes the truth hurts and there are many nefarious forces at work here. Make no mistake. I myself have been effected during the making of this film. How couldn't you be effected? If you allow seeds of thought to germinate they will eventually grow. This is one of the many ideas that are discussed in the film and I've purposefully made it a unique experience for you. I'm interested in hearing what you think after you have a look.
Regards,
Christopher P. Garetano

P.S> Thanks for having me, folks. I'll check in again to see if anyone has any additional questions. One thing that I've learned from making this film is that mind control does indeed exist and sometimes our greatest enemy is rooted in what we allow ourselves to truly believe. The mind is a very powerful thing and the lesson that I've learned is in the film.
STAY TUNED

Well Chris I have to admit your level headed reply and honest approach to the subject has me intrigued.
I do believe in my mind control myself. I think one of the best case studies is the assassination of Bobby Kennedy by Sirhan Sirhan.
I also understand that sometimes hidden amongst the crazy stories and untrustworthy sources that there could be a kernel of truth. I also have come to realize that there are instances where the kernel of truth is so thoroughly buried beneath convoluted half-truths and straight up lies that wasting one's time trying to find it will lead to years wasted following rabbit holes with no end.
One thing I never have trouble with is having my mind changed. So I eagerly await your film.

In reply to shatnerswig: Yes I actually traveled to Alfred, Stewart, and Preston. Part of the atmosphere and story of Montauk Chronicles is the unique journey that I took with many different people along the way. My goal with the film was to take the audience with me and let them experience the journey as I did. Every location and visit was different from the last. Both Preston and Alfred are isolated people. They live like anchorites so it was a great discovery. I avoided the TV/reality show way of doing things and focused on taking the audience on a virtual journey. It's honest and I show you as I experienced it. I can't wait for you to see. Regards, Christopher
