At inVisibility Productions LLC, our mission is to bring lives and situations that have been historically invisible to mainstream media culture into visibility.
Josef Steiff is a former social worker and writer/director/producer working with an incredible team of collaborators to create films that reflect his interest in how people struggle to make personal sense out of random impersonal events. His films have shown in the Americas, Europe, South Asia, East Asia, and Australia.
His regular collaborators have included editor Melissa Lawrenz, colorist John Cavallino, composers Dylan Love & Catherine Nguyen, sound editor & re-recording engineer Arbob Khan, and director Todd Lillethun.
