“Dissent” is the latest film from director Sager Al Nuaimi.
During a flight to a peace summit, a priest, a rabbi, and an imam must set aside their differences to perform a successful exorcism on a possessed flight attendant or everyone on board will perish.
I was invited by the director to design the main title and end credits sequences, developing a visual approach that would resonate with the film’s tension and spiritual undertones. The process focused on channeling the sacred and the profane through restrained design and symbolic detail, aligning with the film’s exploration of faith, conflict, and redemption.
Built with Cinema 4D, Redshift, and After Effects, the sequences draw from ancient occult books—their raw textures, intricate typography, and muted tones referencing the shared visual language of mysticism that transcends individual religions. The result is a design that feels both timeless and unsettling, bridging spirituality and dread within a single frame.
