Modern Craft

Lack of knowledge has linked Wicca directly to old-school witchcraft and Hollywood has painted witches as gruesome. Our film shows nothing but the truth behind the Wicca religion and their peaceful methods. Through our expert interviews of a long-time Wiccan, a beginner Wiccan, as well as a researcher of Wicca, our film shares their experiences and informs our audiences of how the religion works.

Director Biography - Jessica P. Jackson

Jessica has always had an interest in film and what goes on not only in front of the camera, but especially behind it. While editing is one of her talents and favorite things to do, she also has an interest in various sound concepts. This interest led her to work on Feast Coast (2015) as a sound designer and The Delivery (2015) as a sound mixer. Feast Coast was accepted into several festivals, including Reel Teal, LA Cinefest, and Golden Sun. In the past Jess has been the Programming Assistant/Video Race Co-Coordinator for the Visions6 Film Festival and Conference as well as the Online Media Content Producer for Working Narratives. In the fall of 2016 she directed the film Modern Craft and will have four of her items published in upcoming issues of Film Matters magazine. Jess aspires to one day become either a full-time editor or sound designer for a television series, in particular Supernatural since it shows no signs of ever ending…which she’s okay with.

Director Statement

Hello my name is Jessica and I am the director of Modern Craft. This is a documentary that focuses on Queen Lady Passion of Coven Oldenwilde, Alysha who is a Christian studying Wicca, and Danny who has been a Wiccan for about a year and a half.

So many people are misinformed about Wicca and this film goes against the stereotypes that have been painted over time, showing the true nature of the religion and how peaceful it is.
