Aradia Pictures is an independent production company out of Nashville TN, born from the spirit of Aradia—the legendary moon goddess and queen of witches, known for empowering the oppressed, embracing rebellion, and honoring the sacred balance of light and shadow. Like the goddess herself, we tell stories that challenge the norm, illuminate hidden truths, and celebrate the mystical forces that shape our inner and outer worlds.
We create character-driven films that explore the raw, complicated beauty of being human—diving deep into themes of mental health, connection, identity, and spirituality. With a touch of dark humor and an unflinching eye, our stories reflect the messiness, magic, and meaning of life.
At our core, we’re devoted to building creative spaces where artists feel safe, valued, and free to take risks. Every Aradia set is a sanctuary for collaboration, curiosity, and compassion—led by passionate storytellers who believe in the power of film to heal, provoke, and transform.
PRAISE
“There is a very proficient talent behind this screenplay…The action is vividly described, and the mood and tone are both poignant and intriguing, which helps blend drama and mystery. The writer's passion for the story arena is visible on every page, which elevates the reading experience.” - THE BLACKLIST
“This story is dreamy, magical, earnest, and seriously funny. It is a rom-com that is about death and would keep the audience in equal parts crying and laughing-so-hard-they-cry. The tone is quite unique - there are deeply funny, dirty, cringey moments…but also emotional ones…each character, even the smaller ones, are given idiosyncrasies that make the world feel lived-in.” - THE BLACKLIST
“This is a fantastical story with magical elements, but a lot of the human drama feels true to life.” - THE BLACKLIST
