Mad Over Disco(2025)

Storyline

An acclaimed activist filmmaker and a young music producer from a disadvantaged community reunite years after they went their separate ways. This time, they don't meet as mentor and student—they collaborate as equals on a bold challenge: writing a song together. Their reunion becomes an inspiring story about bridging different worlds through creativity, the power of music to connect people, and what can happen when two talented artists from completely different backgrounds come together with shared purpose and vision.

“Two artists. One song. A reunion that changes everything.”
