1990's grunge couple Lars and Tina are constantly arguing one day, when they notice they ran out of rolling papers and can't smoke up! So they embark on a crazy journey to try to recoup their losses and get high. They are no Bill & Ted, and this is no excellent adventure, but it sure is a pretty dope day anyhow. Inspired by mumblecore, the films of Kevin Smith, Richard Linklater and Jim Jarmusch as well as the screwball style of 90's television hits like "Pete & Pete", this is my love letter to slacker comedies. I chose to do it all mostly handheld, without studio lighting (mostly only available light), and I even forgot to mic certain scenes. I used a Lumix 20mm f1.7 and a vintage PENTAX-K zoom lens mounted to Micro 4/3 which has a real nice filmic look as is very crisp for an older manual lens. This was shot between November of 2019 and January of 2020 with no money, using really only whatever we had available. It was also unscripted, with all the dialogue being improvised take after take, and inevitably I had to make it flow together in editing which posed a fun challenge. Starring: Pierson Dapier as Lars Bella Nottoli as Tina Tommy Versetto as Street Tough John Davies as Ace Penny Mykee Morettini as Quelch Gunderson Written, directed, filmed & edited by Mykee Morettini. Shot on Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K.

www.mykeemorettini.com [2019] Journey into the mind..... The globes will be delivered!!! A loving parody / homage / reference to DAVID LYNCH. Let's break down the tropes: *The intro is a reference to the intro for "Industrial Symphony No. 1" *Shot involving flickering lightbulb *Slow motion woman dancing in black & white. *Time and speed manipulation *Reverse motion *Old fashioned technology *Distorted faces *Eccentric, otherworldly figures *Dynamic between stark monochrome or over-exaggerated colors *Parallel realities & More... I would love to do more Lynch-inspired works! #BMPCC4k #surrealism #experimental #abstract #art #shorthorror #blackmagic #modern #contemporary #neoexpressionist #artfilm #horrorshort A film by Mykee Morettini with Harley Hyde, Rachel Kormanik, Pierson Dapier, and featuring Mia Morettini & Finn Tailor. Sound Design & Mixing by Matthew Festle. Filmed with the Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera 4K and Panasonic Lumix 20mm f1.7II, vintage Minolta 35mm and vintage Pentax-K lenses. Edited with Adobe Premiere / After Effects. Additional music by Mykee Morettini. Inspired by my love of TWIN PEAKS and David Lynch in general, especially his shorter "experimental" pieces.

First shots with my brand new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k! I was using the Lumix 20mm f1.7 II lens and recording onto a Sandisk Extreme Pro card in ProResHQ. Still not fluent in this camera or workflow process, but I am already thoroughly impressed by what I was able to get without even really thinking, and I can't wait to put this to practical use on actual films.

An insane artist losing his mind under pressure begins talking to his paintings, who beg to be set free. A semi-autobiographical piece reflecting how critical we all (including me) tend to be towards our art and how we need to learn to appreciate what we create despite its perceived flaws, as well as how we can often be tormented by our dedication to the arts! Produced for Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts College FILM 1. Starring Cullen Casey. Featuring Patrick Casey, Matt Kormanik, Mykee Morettini. Cinematography by Michael Mendez. Location Audio by Samantha Gibson. Written, Prop/Set Design, Directed & Edited by Mykee Morettini. Mordacious Films on FACEBOOK: http://tinyurl.com/k3xfz88

A non-linear and surrealistic portrayal of an alcoholic and his sordid, twisted world. This is a very dark and harrowing piece made at a time of struggle for myself and my friend Michael (who wrote and stars). Written by / Starring: Michael Mendez Director / Cinematographer / Editor / "LADY ALCOHOL": Mykee Morettini Music By: Patrick Casey Sound Design By: Theo Caen I had previously uploaded but taken it down because I found it potentially triggering. But because of it's artistic merit and what I feel is some solid camerawork from me - I thought it was worth uploading again. Support & Subscribe, Like & Comment! LINKS BELOW!
