Kevin Pontuti
Director

Alexandra Loreth and Kevin Pontuti make a unique team.

For our first feature film, THE YELLOW WALLPAPER, we wrote and produced together. Alexandra played the lead while Kevin directed. The film premiered at Cinequest in 2021 and will be Mutiny Pictures tentpole release for January 2022.

Alexandra is operations manager for a film production consulting and fundraising company and Kevin is Chair of the University of Pacific’s Department of Art, Media, Performance and Design and director for Pacific’s Media X program, an interdisciplinary major that bridges creativity, technology and business. These roles prepare us well for producing films. As Chair, Kevin is responsible for departmental faculty and staff, recruiting, marketing, fundraising. Think running a film set is hard? Try getting a cross department group of tenured faculty to agree on anything. Kevin also has a background in post-production and visual effects and was head of Los Angeles-based Studio P.

Prior to THE YELLOW WALLPAPER, we created a series of three experimental short films that explore themes of body-image, religion and self-acceptance. VANITA, ONERE and PESCARE have all played festivals internationally and always spark interesting reactions and conversations.
