Hello everyone! I’m Dwight Wilson II, the visionary behind Primus—a proof-of-concept short film for a future feature franchise. Inspired by my nostalgic summer memories and passion for visual storytelling, Primus is a journey into human connection and discovery, echoing the cinematic magic of E.T., The Goonies, and the bold narratives of Spike Lee Joints. This sci-fi story blends heartfelt emotion with visual depth to reflect our complex society and spark new perspectives. I’m proud to share that the Primus script ranks in the top 16% of discoverable projects on Coverfly—a testament to its growing impact. With your support, we can bring this vision to life and create something truly extraordinary together.
“The tinge of horror vibes is great—Primus is a likable ‘every boy.’ The sci-fi bones are strong, and its simplicity and restraint serve it well.”
