Works


Tintori's first two short films were heavily narrated, black & white, fantasy stories featuring numerous whimsical characters. His directorial debut was the 2005 short film Jettison Your Loved Ones, which screened at the 2006 Slamdance Film Festival. New York magazine referred to the film as "a deranged, no-budget sci-fi epic [...] some of the most hypnotic and strange six minutes you’ll ever spend staring at a computer screen." His senior thesis film Death to the Tinman premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival where it won a short filmmaking award.
Tintori directed the music video for the MGMT's single "Time to Pretend". The video garnered attention on MTVu airwaves due to its colorful, psychedelic style. Tintori also directed the videos for MGMT's second and third singles, "Electric Feel" and "Kids", respectively. He also directed the videos for The Killers' song "Spaceman" and "Chairlift's "Evident Utensil", which was nominated for an award in the "Breakthrough Video" category at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.

In May, 2010, the Brooklyn Arts Council honored Tintori with a "premature retrospective", screening a number of his short films and other works.
