ABOUT:

Michael Dominguez Beddome is an American filmmaker.

A graduate of the Tisch School of the arts with a BFA in Film, he co-founded the NYC-based production company, AireBedd Productions, with classmate David M. Night Maire in 2011. There they produced dozens of award winning short films and music videos for artists including singer Charlene Kaye, rapper Saigon (“Entourage” - HBO), and film director Felix Thompson (“Kin” - AMC+).

Michael then teamed up with wife and future partner, Michel Dominguez Beddome, to produce the award-winning horror short film "What's in the Woods?" in 2020, showcasing at a variety of film festivals such as Indie Memphis, Queens World, Coney Island, Lady Filmmakers, and many amazing others. “What’s in the Woods?” went on to win “Best Horror Short” at Venice Short Film Awards, Vancouver Independent Film Festival, Oregon Short Film Festival, and Atlanta After Dark Film Festival.

His latest short film, “Cheery Up, Baby!” which he co-directed with Michel, premiered at New York International Short Film Festival in 2023 and has been making the rounds with a showing at the 2024 Queens World Film Festival, the Katra LatinX Film Festival 2024, the Brooklyn Art Cave - “(Surprise!) Birthday Party” exhibition November 2024, and a month-long exhibition at Culture Lab LIC: “Shattered: A Visual Journey Through The Mind” curated by Dawn DeVito in New York City. Following that exhibition, another of M&M’s short’s “Darla Getting Ready” went back to Culture Lab, for the show, “Threads of Resilience: A Mental Health Exhibition.”

Michel and Michael recently wrapped and are in post-production on their first feature film, “Los Enfermos; or The Sick Ones” - a modern day, gender swapped, Mexican retelling of Hamlet, set in Mexico City.

In this fictional documentary following Rachmaninov N. Rühl (or Rock for short), we learn about the daily practices of a Dancist-American in New York City circa 2009, juxtaposed against a historian’s turbulent account of the socio-political development of their zionist “nation” in Tanzania, Africa.
