blank canvas. A devout girl. A figure glimpsed in the dark. “Portrait of God” fractures faith with shadow and silence. Mia stares too long… and something stares back. Watch the vision that tears belief apart.

Occult cinema is more than genre—it’s transmission.
These films are vessels of ancient hunger, divine madness, and buried knowledge.
If one speaks to you, linger there. Watch again. Let it open something.

Which have you yet to unlock?

The Holy Mountain is pure alchemical spectacle. A psychedelic rite of passage disguised as film. Every frame is a sigil. Every sequence, a stage in the magnum opus.
This isn’t a story. It’s initiation.

The Wicker Man is the masterclass of folk horror. A sunlit ritual of sacrifice and ancient gods. Behind its pastoral charm lies a chilling hymn to pagan memory—and the price of disbelief.

Still frame of red haired lady sat in an illuminated forest at night whilst wearing a wedding dress, holding a basket of fruit. The red throne she sits upon is encircled by fruit and produce. The scene evokes the tarot card the Priestess
BTS. Director Will Wright kneels before the actor on set attending to the final details for the following shot. A red haired lady sat in an illuminated forest at night whilst wearing a wedding dress, holding a basket of fruit. The red throne she sits upon is encircled by fruit and produce. The scene evokes the tarot card the Priestess
Throughout my directing career I have always embedded occult references, such as this take on the Priestess from the Thoth Tarot. I'd love to shoot the entire Major Arcana some day, what do you think? - Will
