A Nashville native, Dycee Wildman is a director / writer with a love of the unusual and spooky. her work is influenced by filmmakers who dabble in the absurd, such as Miranda July, Hal Hartley, and Vera Chytilova, as well as directors who explore darkness, Roman Polanski, Wong Kar Wai, and Lynn Ramsey. Growing up in the south she developed an aesthetic sense that is derived from the natural world, but her interests skew consistently to the grisly. In addition to filmmaking she fosters the arts community by co-founding the Defy Film Festival and working collaboratively with Daisy Dukes Films.

Kari Ames and Danielle Shoda decided to transform the Barbershop theater in Nashville. TN into a Covid-friendly temple space, available to be entered any time of day or night during the middle two weeks of September (9/10-24 -- by appointment only). A maximum of two beings total will be permitted use of the space at a time for up to 60 minutes and the room is designed to be interpreted / utilized differently by each human who enters. Inside you will find something akin to a planet-worshipping wizard's chambers: tools for divination, opportunities to enter a gnosis state, an altar for worship and dark space for deep meditation. Ruled only by the four elements (you become the fifth as Spirit), attendees are invited to explore and contemplate their past, present and future selves and emerge anew from the Mercury Chamber. Support their project!
