Lola VFX, the internationally recognized visual effects studio behind Deadpool and Wolverine, Stranger Things, and Wicked, is officially stepping into film production with the supernatural horror feature SIGIL. The project marks the company’s first producing effort and pairs Lola VFX with longtime industry partners Cinemaways, Get It Made, and Concourse Media, which will also handle global sales.
SIGIL stars Sierra McCormick (Last Stop in Yuma County, The Vast of Night), Francesca Xuerb (Ted, Pam & Tommy), and Cailyn Rice (1923, Euphoria) in a tightly contained gothic horror story set entirely within a single room. The film follows three young women who reunite to complete an occult ritual devised by their recently deceased friend, Sophie. As they obey her increasingly cryptic instructions, they begin to realize they are the final components in a lethal design she set in motion before her death.
The move into production represents a natural evolution for Lola VFX, which has been guided for years by visual effects pioneer Edson Williams. Alongside co-owner and CEO William Wright Anderson, Williams has helped position the company as a leading partner for performance-driven visual effects across film and television.
Written by William Wright Anderson and Katharine Meadows, SIGIL will allow Lola VFX to deploy its full range of visual effects expertise, drawing on decades of experience across every facet of the discipline to support the film’s psychological and supernatural tension.
“SIGIL lets Lola do what we do best: elevate performances, push the uncanny into the real world and create scares that stay under your skin,” said Lola VFX Founder and VFX Supervisor Edson Williams.
“We are so excited to produce SIGIL in Los Angeles, where we can hire local talent and help power the film community that built us,” said Lola VFX CEO William Anderson. “Partnering with Cinemaways, Get It Made and Concourse Media allows us to unite storytelling, production, and cutting edge VFX from the start.”
SIGIL is scheduled to begin production in January 2026.
