When writer / director Seth Ferranti received a twenty-five-year LSD kingpin conviction, after faking his suicide and landing on the US Marshals Top-15 Most Wanted list, he thought his life was over. As a first time, non-violent offender, the lengthy sentence attracted media attention from The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, The Washington Times, and others.

As a drug dealing teen Ferranti sold LSD and marijuana at 15 East Coast colleges, crisscrossing across five states- Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Maryland- a wanna-be rock star and Hunter S. Thompson-style outlaw whose heroes were Henry Rollins, Axl Rose, and Jim Morrison. He followed the Grateful Dead and considered himself a counterculture rebel, not a criminal, as he was breaking laws which he thought were wrong.

VICELAND also shot an episode on Ferranti’s case, HAVE DRUG WILL TRAVEL, which will premiere in their new series FINE YOUNG CRIMINALS in 2020. Ferranti also has two documentaries in production, NIGHTLIFE and DOPE MEN, and his two short films JESUS CHRIST JUNKIE and THE PRECIOUS AND THE DAMNED are currently playing at film festivals. He also produced a series of interviews on Al Profits Youtubechannel that have gotten 100’s of thousands of views.
