Invisible Disco Productions
Invisible Disco Productions is an entertainment production company endeavoring to create work that values emerging artists and the ownership of their voices, the joys and benefits of collaboration, and a grand old time.
Invisible Disco has been active since early 2020 and since have produced multiple works in different mediums including but not limited to some on stage performances such as This Feeling (2020), a one-woman-show written by Amelia Annen and Lauren Montes, directed by Thea Throndson and Sarah Ruhl’s Melancholy Play (2022) directed by John Trindl. Invisible Disco also have been focusing on producing short films: Roadtrip (2021), Rural (2021), Dinosaur Day (2021), Angel (2021). Currently all short films are in the festival circuit.
During the thick of the pandemic Invisible Disco aimed to push boundaries of multimedia arts and tried to foster an environment that inspires artists to create their own work. During that period they focused on producing digital content and created All Work, No Play Festivals where Invisible Disco brought together actors, writers, and directors to produce short plays from new playwrights. Invisible Disco also hosted a digital production of Sartre’s No Exit to raise money for Girls Inc. NYC. Later, Invisible Disco Productions created Writer’s Block Party, which is a podcast that that hopes to share the work of emerging artists and to break down the all too often mysticized process of creating and developing art.
In 2022, Invisible Disco Productions developed and hosted a film festival called, “Emerging: A Virtual Film Festival”.
