Have You Seen Him?
Did You See Him At
Morgan Marquette, The Dreadful Gentleman, is an unusual filmmaker.
Much of his world consists of black-and-white imagery with a vintage flair, often utilizing unusual items as props—most notably, skeletons or the repetitive use of older-model objects such as typewriters, phones, or clocks. These artistic expressions can most clearly be seen in his music videos, which are often filmed during a time when any one of Morgan’s neighbors might suddenly become confused by the unexpected appearance of a skeleton-in-a-wig rising up above their garden wall.
Morgan is most often spotted just north of Los Angeles, driving around in his 1991 Cadillac Brougham Hearse, all the while dressed in fantastical attire that typically ranges from “old fashioned gentleman” to “was that a pirate?” He has also been reportedly sighted in the Floridian town of Kissimmee for half the year though this has yet to be confirmed by any trusted news source.
Acclaim For The Dreadful Gentleman:
"Hi there, I met you at Midsummer scream and I have a few things I need to say. your art looks like it would get a C- for like, a school film project :( It's not art, it's a TikTok for a song you didn't even write, for a story that someone else has already told better. and all you do is point a camera at a costume, and at some dollar store skeletons who no one cares about. I feel like you have cool ideas, and you're passionate about aesthetics, but just do that. why do you have to make videos to show off cool stuff you make, if the video itself is really, really amateur. it just makes everything you do look bad. It just looks like you think what you do is art, but you've never even bothered to study the craft, and it's offensive to people who actually care about the art of filmmaking. It's not your calling, it's a hobby that you call "work" when you have no idea what it's like to work under deadlines, pressure from clients/bosses, pressure from finances and your own survival. You have no real consequences, nothing on the line. and art needs that. It's not enough to have your ego on the line :/ You play dress up, and call it labor. it's not. It's not your higher purpose, it's a hobby. we all have them. You're just protected from someone who has real stake in it, calling it bad, which real artists, are not. Nothing big is on the horizon for you. nothing is coming. you're just cosplaying a creative professional and putting all this made-up urgency and stress as some sort of way to feel like it's real. it's all in your head. sorry :("
