Invisible Engine

Secret Origins: Invisible Engine

Live on the internets since March 2006, Invisible Engine combines the comedic perversions and audio-visual razzmatazz of Sean Bury, Chris Cantwell & Matt Wyatt. Originally formed to produce THE PROTOTYPE, a full-length feature film, Invisible Engine has produced lots n' lots of hard hitting, bone shattering, socially empowering short films. IE's work is syndicated on hundreds of websites, and has been featured on CNN, MSNBC, NBC, Yahoo, Salon, Wonkette & Wired. In fact, less than 6 billion people have seen an Invisible Engine short.

While IE has achieved great success on the internet, its reach doesn't end there. The IE boys are hard at work on features, TV shows and silent underwater propulsion systems. Invisible Engine is managed by Good n' Proper Management in Los Angeles.
