Resident Dilettante is a New York-based production company developing new works with upcoming artists in theater and film. Devoted to following the needs of our community through the lens of our work, we find our projects and collaborators through word of mouth, building a troupe of incredible artists across mediums.
Community-based, not client-based.
We believe in making art with people who inspire us, and making art that inspires us to meet new people. Our circle is always growing, but our projects are consistently spaces of joyful collaboration. We firmly believe in the repeat hire, and always follow up to support our past casts and crews on their journeys.
“I think we’re the only company that funds their film division with their theater division.”
Having begun as a theatrical production company, Resident Dilettante has produced work in theaters across New York and beyond. But our film division is always working on something new, and we’re happily selecting our next screenplay, as well as beginning work on our webseries, GROUP.
What’s Next?
With our short film, To the Floor, beginning the festival circuit with the Big Apple Film Festival, and our seminal Writer’s Salon Series already planning its second showing, the RD team has its hands full.
We’re excited to go into the Summer with many projects already on the books, including a return to St. John’s in the Village with A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Our international division is also cooking up its own Shakespeare-inspired piece with You Won’t See Me on the Poster, an exploration into Shakespeare’s minor characters.
