Commentary #1 features writer/director Jeff Lieberman.

Interview (6:31, HD) with Jeff Lieberman is a scattered conversation about the writer/director's own experiences with LSD, which informed the tone and cynicism of the picture.
Interview (9:35, HD) with Sandy King breaks down what a script supervisor does on set. King shares her experiences with the hectic, non-union "Blue Sunshine" shoot, including time questioning Zalman King's perpetual intensity.
Interview (9:57, HD) with Robert Waldon explores the actor's state of career desperation at the time of his casting in "Blue Sunshine," working to make an average doctor role into something special. Waldon also explores the bustle of low-budget filmmaking, forcing him to focus intently on character.
Interview (7:01, HD) with Richard Crystal doesn't accomplish much with the actor (who only appears for a few minutes of screen time), but he shares his memories of heavy make-up application and punishing eye contacts. Crystal also has his own interpretation of LSD influences.
"Fantasy Film Festival" (12:08, SD) is a clip from a 1980 interview program for the Z Channel, hosted by a young Mick Garris. The guest is Lieberman, who discusses his first film, the worm-centric horror picture "Squirm," and "Blue Sunshine."
"The Locations of 'Blue Sunshine'" (8:43, HD) teams Lieberman up with two unnamed filmmakers, who take the director to famous places from "Blue Sunshine," hoping to stir up some faded memories. The camerawork is unforgivably shaky, but the idea is pleasant.
