Who we are

Odd Mollusk Productions may be in its infancy, but the people behind it have been professional artists for decades.

Meet the Mollusks

  • Nicholas Wardigo

    FOUNDER, SCREENWRITER, EDITOR

    Nick has worked as a professional playwright since 2001. In addition to his many productions (and even more public readings), he has won grants with the Pew Fellowships in the Arts and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. He’s also been nominated for the F. Otto Haas Award and been produced by the PlayPenn New Play Development Conference. About a decade ago, he produced a web series with Tony and Jim called Martinis with Nick. Some people liked it.

  • Anthony Sortino

    DIRECTOR

    Tony has spent over 20 years in film and TV production as a camera operator and lighting designer while dabbling in directing and producing. He has worked on major motion pictures, independent films, documentaries, and medical and music videos. He’s also written and produced a pilot for The Food Network. He’s proud of the body of work he’s accomplished, and he feels lucky to have been a part of it all.
