FILM PROJECTS
BY AND WITH TK DEVINE
Below is collection of films, documentaries, and hosted series involving yours truly. For the series, my hosting style employs a lighthearted but enlightening tone with strong narration and a welcoming camera presence, guiding the viewer with a passenger-seat experience.
For my film projects, I present serious issues of existential and culturally prescient issues. Please subscribe to the @Devine_Diaries Instagram page

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLENNIAL?
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLENNIAL? is a comedic look at how the Millennial generation is hacking everyday routines to live lives of meaning and abundance.
The pilot for Who Wants to Be a Millennial? was held at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, as an Official Selection at the 2023 Dances With Films festival on July 1.
The concept is “Dirty Jobs” meets “Parts Unknown” with a “Daily Show” segment twist, this day-in-the-life-of series isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions about the difficult hand Millennials were dealt–and whether or not they deserve their controversial reputation.
THE UNKNOWN DEPTHS is my directorial debut. It is an elegy to existential crisis and unrequited adieux. With an evocative original score from composer Markus Illko, this dramatic short, in a sleek experimental, le realisme poétique style, uses footage from all habitable continents to display the universality of the human experience. Written, Directed, and Produced by Matt, the film was an Official Selection at the 2023 Sunscreen Film Festival and a Gold Remi Award Winner at the 2023 WorldFest – Houston International Film Festival. It will be screening in Ithaca, New York during the first weekend of October as an Official Selection at the 2023 Silent City Film Festival.

TK'S HOSTED WORKS
THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED was an Anthony Bourdain style, self-contained docu-series following me in my Ford Tiny Home as I road-tripped across America, unearthing everyday people pioneering exceptional lifestyle downsizing shortcuts to define their own alternative version of the American Dream.
This series was pitched through the Creative Artists Agency and Brian Graden Media. Additionally, below are highlight episodes to independently produced series I’ve put together. Thanks for watching!
