Lights, Camera, Action: Get Ready for “Do Not Disturb” – A Hilarious Take on Hollywood Dreams

"Do Not Disturb" will screen at Santa Fe International Film Festival this week.

SANTA FE, NM, UNITED STATES, October 24, 2024 Prepare for a rollicking ride through Tinseltown with Do Not Disturb, a witty 12-minute short film that dives into the comedic chaos of two C-list actors Isla and Ryan, brilliantly portrayed by Yadira Pascault Orozco and Max Isaacson, (on a quest to film a sex tape and catapult their careers to new heights! The film will screen at the Santa Fe International Film Festival.
But let’s be clear: this isn’t your average adult film. Do Not Disturb is a playful exploration of ambition, fame, and the quirky lengths people go to in Hollywood.

Produced by the dynamic duo Julia Kennedy Hunt and written & directed by the talented Hugo Ortiz Clemens, this film marks their fourth collaboration as a producer/director team and serves as their undergraduate thesis at The University of Texas at Austin.

With a fresh and satirical lens, Do Not Disturb challenges the age-old question: who makes it in Hollywood and why? Follow the journey of Isla, a Mexican telenovela starlet looking to break into the American entertainment scene, and Ryan, a former child star eager to earn his stripes as a serious actor. Despite their differing backgrounds, they share one goal: to be recognized for their talent. Luckily, they discover that society’s obsession with celebrity lives might just be the ticket to their dreams!

Beyond the laughs and antics, this film invites viewers to reflect on the often-absurd dynamics of the entertainment industry, sparking conversation about consumer culture and celebrity obsession.

Do Not Disturb is already making waves on the festival circuit!

In 2023, Hugo Ortiz Clemens’ short film “Brenda” won first place at the Texas Union Film Festival. This year, he showcased his undergraduate thesis film “Do Not Disturb” at Austin Film Festival in the Best Lil’ Shorts in Texas program. The film follows two C-List actors Isla and Ryan (wonderfully played by Yadira Pascault Orozco and  Max Isaacson) as they attempt to film a sex tape to kickstart their Hollywood careers. The Daily Texan sat down with Ortiz Clemens (radio-television-film ‘23) to discuss the progression of his filmmaking career and his ambitious short film. 

 

The Daily Texan:  You created “Do Not Disturb” as your undergraduate thesis film. Did you ever imagine it would reach this big of an audience? 

Hugo Ortiz Clemens: The thesis part was the excuse — I was gonna make it, and it was awesome to make it within the resources the university offered for being a thesis film. I knew I wanted to make it because it (would) be my last film as an undergrad here, so I wanted to take advantage of as many resources as I could. 

DT: What do you hope audiences take away from your short film?  

HOC: There’s not a lot of meritocracy (in the film industry) and there’s a lot of stuff that plays into it. But at the same time, we still want to be a part of it in a weird way. .… You don’t have to agree with how everything works and how everything is to still want to be a part of it, because it’s gray — it’s never black and white. There’s some good things and there’s some very bad things about it. But in the end, it’s all about knowing your limits — where you would go and where you don’t want to go as an artist (and) to be able to put your work out there.

Poppies featuring Yadira Pascault Orozco at Hamilton Film Festival

________________________________________________
Poppies, a celebrated short film by director Myles Yaksich - featuring Mathew Knowles, Cindera Che, Kara Wang, Jonathan Stanton and Yadira Pascault Orozco will be included in the Official Selection of the Hamilton Film Festival in Ontario, Canada in October of 2018.

Fate intervenes, when Charles, a young and over-worked American corporate lawyer, finds himself seated beside an elderly Chinese woman with a mysterious past, Auntie Ling on a contemporary flight from Shanghai to New York. After noticing the beautiful bouquet of Poppies that Charles has brought on-board the flight, Auntie Ling reminisces about the early years of her marriage to Shu Zhen, an opium trader in 1940s Shanghai, and tries to coax Charles out of his solitude. Slowly lured into her stories, Charles begins to see the layers beneath Auntie Ling's polished facade. Poppies brought Charles and Auntie Ling together, underscoring the fine line between joy and sorrow...life and death. Influenced by real events, Poppies explores the cross-cultural and cross-generational relationships that develop between strangers in mid-air.
