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.”
— Coverfly, The Red List

Logline:

A curious adolescent boy follows a strange young girl home and discovers a web of secrets that challenges everything he thought he knew about the world around him.
