Industrial Discord Bios

Robert Tuxbury started creating short claymation films at the age of 11. That led to documentaries in high school along with teaching children film and animation. His directing debut came in 1996 when he joined forces with an electronic industrial musician and created L.V.X. Occulta. Over the course of 3 years he wrote, produced and directed 7 plays that were best described as “Silent film on stage with an orchestra of electronic devices.” Never feeling complete on stage, an enrolment in the film program at SCC led him to co-create Industrial Discord with Joseph Formichella. Since then he has directed several projects from feature films to music videos. In 2003, he returned to the stage for a short time to direct “The Fyrae”, a fire performance troupe that used fire arts and belly dancing to tell original stories. He continues to passionately write, produce and direct for Industrial Discord.
 

Joseph Formichella began his filmmaking career with a spring-wound Kodak 8mm camera and a group of school friends who spent every weekend shooting chase movies, science fiction epics, and odd tales involving a monster so ugly he wore a bag over his head. Joseph gradually focused his efforts on writing screenplays and now teaches screenwriting at Scottsdale Community College. In 2000, he co-founded Anomalous Entertainment and co-produced an award-winning documentary entitled FINDING THE FUTURE (now available on DVD).

In 2001, Joseph and Robert formed Industrial Discord to make movies and music videos. Joseph applies his many years of experience as a still photographer when acting as cinematographer for Industrial Discord. And since editing is essentially the final re-write of the screenplay, Joseph serves as the primary editor for all of Industrial Discord's projects.
