…or Malachai Destiny, or Malach, or the 13th Century Boi. He answers to a multitude of monikers. Malachai is a Kentucky-based filmmaker who has built a rather heavy mystique around himself – everything from cultivating various personas to creating his own lexicon in his film dialogue and music. He’s sorta like Tolkien in that sense I suppose.

Malachai, academically speaking, creates unusual, rad, tongue-firmly-in-cheek abstract short form narratives. The actors come from a music and art talent pool known as the Manforest. Malach would never divulge to me what exactly a Manforest is, and perhaps I don’t really want to know. Malachai describes himself in his own words:

The Quest series is somewhere between art film, surrealistic humor, and a delightful coming of age piece about broship and finding yourself. Get lifted, mang:

Malachai is on MySpazz here. If you wish to speak to him directly, though, you must contact Shooting Star Talents of Beijing. You can see some of his other work at Viemo.
