Disco Inferno by Oliver Woolf
Oliver Woolf is a writer/actor from London. He wrapped the feature film Two Big Feet by Noah Stratton-Twine, acting as the lead alongside Luke Rollason (Extraordinary, Disney Plus) slated for a 2024 release. He first started scriptwriting to get revenge on a roommate—who was a writer himself, and claimed he needed the biggest room in the house in order to write efficiently, leaving Oliver with the tiny room—thus making Oliver want to prove that big rooms aren’t essential for scriptwriting.
His first pilot Whoops and feature film With Hate, From Love caught the attention of producers and lead him to write his passion project, Disco Inferno, a TV Series about the unknown, insane world of VIP nightclubs—a topic deeply connected to Oliver and his family, himself having worked in nightclubs for 8 years, and his dad 30 years. In a world where nightclubs are getting more public interest, especially the ones where the super rich, famous, and even royal party, no one is more clued up on this topic than Oliver.
