Trailer: Craig Denney's insane THE ASTROLOGER (1975)

Written, directed, produced by and starring Craig Denney, THE ASTROLOGER is a maddeningly wild film released originally in 1975 that was thought lost for years.  It's recently been found, and the strange, remarkable film tells the story of a carnival worker who becomes a world-famous astrologer after taking detours as a Kenyan drug runner.  It's a one-of-a-kind ego project (the closest comparison I can come up with are the films of Duke Mitchell) that no plot synopsis can hope to live up to, and the American Genre Film Archive has done a fine job at taking it on as their first project to restore a 35mm film print.  Here's the trailer, and watch for the film hitting midnight shows and DVD soon.
