About
Chris Conidis is a writer, filmmaker, and improv performer with over two decades of experience in satire, social commentary, and dark humor based in Saint Cloud, Florida. Beginning his career creating media and show scripts for Universal Studios and Walt Disney World, he honed his talent for immersive storytelling and guest experiences.
Chris Conidis is the founder of Elios Entertainment, where he’s produced short films, animations, and creative work across sci-fi, horror, and dark comedy. He’s trained in improv with UCB and Second City alumni, and his short stories and videos— Toolmaker, Return to Adam’s Earth, and The Magician’s Code — explore storytelling through satire and speculative fiction. He coaches improv and writing workshops, mentors emerging performers, and continues to explore visual storytelling through projects in film, magic, and evolutionary themes — always with a sharp sense of humor and a deep love for story.

The Art of the Show: Writing & Designing for Themed Entertainments
When crafting experiences for theme parks, whether Disney, Universal, or others, the concept of the art of the show is paramount. Themed environments aren’t just about rides or attractions; they’re about creating spaces where guests feel like they’ve stepped into another world. As a writer for themed entertainment — and as someone who has dabbled in everything from comedy and improv to immersive storytelling — I’ve found that the key lies in making every element contribute to the overall story.
Whether scripting dialogue for animatronics, writing pre-shows, or creating comedy-laced spiels for cast members, it all comes back to one guiding principle: themed entertainment is theater. And in theater, everything must serve the narrative.
