"Jump!" - Van Halen
Elisha Mlotek is a writer and director from New York.
His dramatic short, Myself When I Am Real, co-written with director Angeline Gragasin, had its international premiere at the Ivano-Frankivsk International Short Film Festival 4:3 in Ukraine and its North American premiere at New/Next Film Fest. It was also an official selection at Women Make Waves International Film Festival in Taiwan and at the San Diego Asian Film Festival, where it won Best Narrative Short.
Mlotek's experimental comedy Ditched was an official selection at the 2024 Nooga Underground Film Fest, Midnight West Fest, and Octopus Marquee Independent Film Festival.
His comedy sketches have been featured on Comedy Central and in Vulture. Most notably, his clickbait parody "America's Got Tom" upset about 140,000 people on youtube. Read the comments.
Mlotek consulted on Daniel Stiepleman's On the Basis of Sex (2018, Mimi Leder), Out of My Mind (2024, Amber Sealey), and Planet of Exile, adapted from the sci-fi novella by Ursula K. Le Guin, currently in development at LAMF.
