M∙T∙H∙D captures our concern for this generation. In a world where Content is King, our mission is to dethrone the desire of those who choose fame over everything. M∙T∙H∙D conceptualizes what it feels like to stand on a stage with thunderous applause, and what it feels like to stand utterly alone.

M∙T∙H∙D was born out of a seventeen-year old Nick Clark touring college campuses and auditing drama classes. During these classes, he would witness actors in black wiggling their bodies and shouting at trees.

It was... weird.

Five years later and that weirdness has not been lost on Nick. While he embraces it now, he can't help but laugh at himself as he, too, wiggles his body and shouts at trees.

M∙T∙H∙D is an opportunity for actors to laugh at themselves, and an invitation for non-actors to laugh along with them.

But what happens when actors, in all of their weirdness, decide to train in a small cabin, deep in the wilderness? What happens when weirdness turns into something far more treacherous?

M∙T∙H∙D tells the story of seven eccentric actors who play seven historical figures from the sixties. Their performance is on New Year's Eve. Their stage is a cabin. Their audience, well... there is no audience. No audience, no script, and NO breaking character. Total immersion.

Oh, and one of the actors is playing Charles Manson. Really, what could go wrong?

From actors that seem larger than life, to influencers that make life seem large, it's become impossible to distinguish the line between reality and fantasy.

M∙T∙H∙D amplifies this concept in two parts. The first, by presenting the dichotomy between what's real and what's fake, and how method acting often blurs the line between the two. This story delivers an account of how deception destroys relationships, leaving those involved in a ruin of jealousy, fragility, and toxicity.

While trust is foundational in any healthy relationship, we often exempt social media from the equation. On social media, we have total control over the way others perceive us - it's only natural that we promote the very best of ourselves. In return, we get the "rush" of positive attention and affirmation. But, like any addiction, we start to crave more and more. Before long, a little attention isn't enough to satisfy...

This brings us to the second part of our concept.

We've witnessed an uprise of shocking content over the past decade, particuarly with the addition of TikTok. People have literally licked toilet seats for clout. People have literally dumped romantic partners for clout. It's reproachable, but it's real. Our culture has normalized the most vile extremes one can go for 15 seconds of fame. 

These two parts manifest in M∙T∙H∙D when the actors devolve into the darkest depths of human emotion...

1) We don't know if they're acting or not. Is their suffering real?

2) In the midst of their pain, someone else decides to turn on a camera and record them - in spite of the fact that it could be real. More than that... the realer the better. 

Even though it's a movie about actors, M∙T∙H∙D ultimately holds up a mirror and asks:

Would you film your friend crying for content?

Would you film your friend suffering for content?

How far would you go?

In the world we see on our phones, these questions really aren't that crazy.

Our vision for M∙T∙H∙D synthesizes nature with structure. Set in the wilderness, our color palette pulls greens and browns from the forest and fuses them with the vibrant hues worn by our characters - attractive to the eye, but not overwhelming. As far as "look" is concerned, M∙T∙H∙D's objective is to create a visual experience that is equal parts innovative and familiar. We want to inspire wonder while retaining warmth.

Here are a few of the films you might find on our moodboard:

COVID-19

Thankfully, M∙T∙H∙D takes place on one location over the span of a week, so the production, de facto, requires quarantining. Our cast and crew were required to test before and after the week of filming. We made conscious efforts to limit ourselves to just the cast, crew, and volunteers. Since the week of filming, each member of the team has been limiting exposure and checking in on symptoms to ensure that we are not worsening the spread of COVID-19. 

 

Thank you SO MUCH for your support! If you made it this far, give us a shoutout on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter. Use the hashtag #mthd2madness and we'll love you forever!!
