What We Do

Blu Star Productions is a company started by an artist with a disability for artists with disabilities. Our aim is to support disabled artists and creators globally with the tools they need to share their amazing talents. From Autism Spectrum Disorder to ADHD, Blu Star artists will have a platform to create bold content that challenges expectations.

Through our own content and our partner’s content, we hope to create a more inclusive film and entertainment industry.

Who We Are

Embracing A New Perspective

A group photo of thirteen young adults posing in front of a rustic wall made of reclaimed wood planks in varying shades of brown, tan, and gray. Ten people stand in a back row wearing casual clothing, including a red plaid flannel shirt, a maroon checkered button-up, a teal long-sleeve shirt, a white graphic tee reading "[OU]TSIDETHELENS," a light blue "Kirby" t-shirt, and a pink-and-white fuzzy cardigan with a black skirt. Three people kneel or crouch in the front row: one in a light blue raglan shirt and glasses, one in a red hooded sweatshirt, and one in a gray shirt wearing a face mask. The floor is gray wood-look laminate, and the group appears to be a team or class posing together indoors. Alex Astrella can be seen standing in-back near the center.

Blu Star Productions gives a voice to artists across the disability spectrum. By creating unique opportunities for our exceptional artists, Blu Star Productions fosters content unlike anything seen before.

From screenplays to feature-length documentaries, our community of creators thrive in showcasing their unique perspectives through their lens.

Diversity through inclusion

Avery Nixon and her brothers smile and wave at the camera while riding a balance bike and two scooters on a paved traffic-safety playground, next to a red STOP sign.

From highlighting the perseverance and passion of the incarcerated community to showcasing the talents of a doctor living with polio, our work defies convention.

Blu Star Productions continually enhances its impressive catalog of thought-provoking pieces. Audiences will be captivated by the exceptional artistry within the Blu Star portfolio.

Unity through community

A young woman with long brown hair sits cross-legged on a low, carpeted stage, smiling as she looks off to the side. She wears a dark short-sleeved t-shirt, dark leggings, and maroon high-top sneakers with white laces, with earphone wires draped around her neck. Behind her hangs a patterned curtain with wavy teal, gold, and cream shapes dotted with small string lights. Cables coil on the stage floor beside her, and the backs of light wooden chairs are visible in the blurred foreground.

At Blu Star Productions, we believe in the incredible power of creativity and collaboration, especially among disabled artists. Our community embraces every individual, transcending barriers of race, gender, and religion, united by the shared belief that accessibility is paramount.

Together, we aspire to forge lifelong connections and inspire one another as part of the Blu Star Productions family. In this unique space, where artists defy conventional labels, we open doors to boundless possibilities.
