Midnight’s Midnight is the surreal, lyrically-driven debut film from Nichole Graf and Rafael Vigilantics. The film follows them on a poetic exploration of time passing through lenses of love, relationship, and history. As they wander the southwestern wilderness the lines between reality, myth, and memory blur as totemic animals appear to guide them from 1947 to the present while the Doomsday clock inches closer to midnight.
This is a story told where Sylvia Plath has become a captured fieldmouse, Huxley a garter snake, and Marilyn Monroe a blonde baby chicken on the cover of Playboy; filmed in a world lit only by old telephone booths, antique projectors, and the fading hour before the New Mexico sun sets. What starts as a paranoid hero’s journey leads them slowly to a place of understanding as loss sheds clarity on the unavoidable togetherness we share when the clock finally strikes Midnight’s Midnight.
Nichole Graf is an artist, painter, tattooer, designer, pizza boy, and bartender.
Rafael Vigilantics is an artist, writer, performer, outhouse digger, and animal wrangler.
Together they create, live and work in a music venue they built living in the southwest corner of New Mexico and bring their love to life.
Directed by Rafael Vigilantics (USA)
