William Price, III tells stories through film and digital media. He has collaborated professionally with Grammy-winning bands non-profits, startups, and healthcare companies. In his personal work, this award-winning filmmaker reflects a darkly tinged spirituality that aches for transcendence and embraces the brutal tension between beauty and suffering; this spirit informs his efforts as a screenwriter, director, actor and creative director — forming pieces through him that often orbit questions of identity, relationship, terror, and hope for mercy. Claire McKenna, William’s most recent narrative film, commissioned by the 8beats Movie project, has been enjoyed and awarded at festivals around the world.Ìý
