Conor Oberst’s Directorial Debut Invention 13 Feat. Phoebe Bridgers


From introspective indie anthems to cinematic storytelling, Conor Oberst is proving that the world of music has a fascinating overflow into the realm of filmmaking. The longtime frontman of Bright Eyes has recently traded the stage for the director’s chair, teaming up with fellow musician Shawn Foree of Digital Leather for a creative venture that promises to be as unique as the artists themselves.

The collaboration is centered around a new short film titled Invention 13. This project marks an exciting directorial debut for both Oberst and Foree, signaling a new direction for the celebrated pair as they dive into visual storytelling.

Adding another layer of artistic depth to the project is the involvement of fellow acclaimed artist, Phoebe Bridgers. This infusion of talent suggests that Invention 13 is set to explore themes and aesthetics that resonate deeply within the contemporary arts landscape.

The new short film is slated to make its public debut at LA’s Beyond Fest later this month, offering audiences a fresh, compelling piece of independent cinema.
