Matilda Morales is someone who dreams up movies when she can’t sleep. She started her journey into film by making music videos for artists she met at basement concerts in Boston. Her first two music videos, “do you want me to” by Video Days and “Holyoke” by warmachine, were projects she shot, directed, and edited entirely on her own.
It didn’t take her very long to realize that creating and completing a project on her own brought her little satisfaction and moreover, she wanted to share her successes with fellow creatives. Thus, she ventured into the world of narrative filmmaking, a notoriously collaborative medium.
She jumped into this world by directing a short film for the 48 hour film project, and a few months later she shot and directed her first “real” short film, “ROBOT”. In the intervening time, she helped establish jpfl1x, a DIY filmmaking collective based in Allston, MA with her longtime collaborator Ro Subramonian.
