Starting in 2012, after our first two features, we decided to start doing a series of short films written & directed by various members of our group.

 

(1) Our first short film was Toilet Prayers, an existential short film about a conversation between two men in a bathroom.

Written and directed by Sam Platizky

Director of Photography and Production Audio: Joey Mosca.

Gaffer: Tony Pineiro.

Starring: Isaac Platizky, Dan Gregory, and William R. Farley.

(2) Our second short film, Blackout, is a horror short that was inspired by the events of Hurricane Sandy. In the middle of a hurricane, a group of Halloween partyers seek shelter in the home of a kindly couple… but not everyone is what they appear.

Written by Sam Platizky

Directed by Joey Mosca

Directors of Photography: William R. Farley & Sean Feuer.

Production & Post Production Audio: Joey Mosca.

Gaffer: Tony Pineiro.

(3) Although it was the third short to be released, Tell Me Something Good was actually filmed right after Toilet Prayers. The original footage was stolen from the director’s car, and this project remained in limbo until we found a backup copy. Tell Me Something Good is about three strangers who are held hostage by a crazy man who wants one thing: for them to tell him something good.

(5) In the summer of 2015, in order to bring more attention to the Yellow Scare indiegogo campaign, we made a 5 part series of micro shorts to act as a prequel to the movie (gathered here as one short). Rex Steel & the PC Officer is about PC Officer Pamela Clarke’s mission to make Rex Steel more tolerant and politically correct before a big meeting of international intelligence agents.
