-A Chronological Archive of Dicey Visions-
2023
LAST KISS
Written and Directed by
Javier Padilla
MANTIS
Co-written by Connor Ray & Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai
Directed by
Maya Vidal
hypOChonDria
Written and Directed by
Angel Gabriel Lizarraga
Malcolm & Marie
Written by Sam Levinson
Directed by
Madison Hubler
In association with Dicey Media, this reimagining of a scene from Sam Levinson's acclaimed screenplay was the brainchild of Dicey member Aaliyah Mecca, who stars and produced the piece.
With Dicey members in key positions, this scene highlights the power of collaboration between various individuals in pursuit of high quality filmmaking, and the credits surely include people who will lead the next generation of art in the industry.
New Logo: Design Process & Reveal
by
Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai
A brief summary of our company's logo evolution.
We are different, better versions of ourselves as artists, and we want to honor that evolution with a facelift of our logo.
Thanks to peer feedback and the iterative process of design, we are proud to present the visual statement representing the next chapter of Dicey Media.
2022
10-65
Written and Directed by
Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai
Inspired by Lynchian ambiguity and personal dreamlike experiences,
10-65 was written to provoke a question in its audiences.
Layered with details and clues, the answer is simple yet incredibly challenging of the conformities which we're hardly aware of in this era.
With 10-65, Dicey made another leap forward in production, as we worked with industry-grade lighting equipment and brought together the largest number of cast and crew we had collaborated with at the time.
DON'T LOOK AWAY
Written and Directed by
Evan Wright
Written as part of Dicey's official Writers Group, D.L.A. is Evan's screenwriting and directing debut. As with Somehow, Evan provides the film with a unique musical identity, crafting its unrelenting score from scratch and fine-tuning it from beginning to unnerving conclusion.
D.L.A. also marked a new chapter in Dicey's production capabilities, as a green screen and body-doubling techniques were employed to bring this deeply personal and abstract story to life.
2021
SOMEHOW
Story by Textli Gallegos & Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai
Directed by Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai
Song & Lyrics by Evan Wright
With Somehow, Dicey was able to utilize previously inaccesible elements in its production: lighting equipment, more than one actor, more than one location, and an incredible original track which inspired and propelled the narrative.
Somehow is at its core, a love tragedy, not because it's unrequited, but because it's different than the love being offered.
RABBITHØLE
Written and Directed by
Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai
Dicey's first project, Rabbithøle explores the limitations of isolation, not only in the process of producing it, but for the
main character, whom finds himself in a battle for control with an enemy very close to him.
What do we do when the places we hold most sacred, our homes and our inner world, go from oases to prisons?

BEGIN FLASHBACK:
Summer of 2020 in Pasadena, CA.
The first COVID summer.
FADE IN:
INT./EXT. A CAR ON THE 210 SOUTH - 2 A.M.
Emiliano Sorrosa-Elioenai finds himself back in LA after university classes and live theater in the Bay Area (the only things keeping him there) are shut down.
CUT TO:
INT. DINING ROOM TABLE - MORNING, WEEKS LATER
Back in LA, he realizes he's surrounded by peers with the same ambition: transform the film industry to be equitable for women, BIPOC, under-resourced folks, and other social/cultural minorities.
CUT TO:
INT. TOP SECRET LOCATION - EVENING
After conceptualizing a framework and a vision for the production company, he brings onboard Luis Nunez and Roberto Dimas Jr., the three of them agree on a name, and Dicey Media is born.
INSERT: Fireworks, mariachis. Then, EERIE ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC BEGINS.
It would be a rough and slow start... Dicey's debut project, Rabbithøle, was shot with one crew member on set, one camera, one lens, one location, one light, zero microphones, and zero budget.
FADE OUT.
INSERT: The sun breaks through the horizon after a long, cold night. Then...
CUT TO:
The start of 2023: Dicey has shot over 8 projects (some with a production value of over $15,000 dollars), has had over 20 active members, and with those artists written a combined total of over 25 scripts (including shorts, features, and TV series). All while staying true to our mission of elevating the most historically oppressed voices in the film industry.
Don't roll the credits yet: we're far from done.
