Ray Tintori

Ray Tintori is an up and coming director that I have a feeling is about to blow up. He has directed MGMT's "Kids", "Time to Pretend", and "Electric Feel" music videos, as well as The Killers' "Spaceman" and Chairlift's "Evident Utensil" music videos, which was nominated at this years VMA's. In addition, Spike Jonze just recruited him this summer to write, direct and produce a new film called "Light Boxes". His first short film is one named "Jettison Your Loved Ones" which showed at the Slamdance Film Festival. His sophomore effort is one named "Death to the Tinman". It was made for his senior thesis at Wesleyan University, from which he graduated in 2006. In 2007 it showed at the Sundance Film Festival and recieved an award. This film was brought to my attention by my English teacher, Mr. Illman, who was Tintori's teacher way back when. Tintori contacted Mr. Illman when he made this video because he wanred him to be in it, as Mr. Illman is critically acclaimed for his excellent reenactments of Shakespeare verbatim from memory during class time. He plays the character of Paul. He showed it to us in class the other day and I can't stop re-watching it. It's really a cool film. There's so many layers and you can tell it was extremely well thought out. I love the plot and there's a million different little aspects that add to its genius. Sooooooo.....watch it.
