Prior to becoming a filmmaker, Mitchell Rose was a New York-based performance artist specializing in comedic work. Places of performance included the Spoleto Festivals in the U.S. and Italy, Joseph Papp’s New York Dance Festival at the Delacorte Theatre in Central Park, and touring throughout North America, Europe, and Asia.
Eventually he was drawn more to visual media and chose to become a filmmaker, entering The American Film Institute as a Directing Fellow. Since A.F.I., his films have won forty-eight film festival awards and are screened around the world on television and in locations as diverse as the Getty Museum and the CBS JumboVision in Times Square.
As can be plainly discovered on MitchellRose.com, Mr. Rose is the former housemate of Paris Hilton. Let the art begin.
The New York Times has likened Mitchell Rose to "... Woody Allen, with more than a dash of Abbie Hoffman thrown in."
The Washington Post has described his work as "in the tradition of Chaplin, Keaton, and Tati -- funny and sad and more than the sum of both."
A few words from Mitchel Rose about HVPG
"As a filmmaker there's one thing that I want. No, not that, another thing. No, not that either. OK, there are three things that I want. And what I'm describing today is that a filmmaker wants his/her work to be seen. Short filmmaking is my passion. But there aren't a lot of serious venues for short films to be seen. This is why something like the HPVG is so invaluable to me. It gets my work seen by intelligent, inquisitive audiences. And it allows me to interact with them in a genuine exchange, receiving authentic feedback. Not a little online movie with anonymous wisecrack commentary. There's no greater pleasure... OK, the third greatest pleasure for a filmmaker is sit with an audience and watch those rapt faces flickering in the cool glow from one of their movies."
