ABOUT WAGYU FILMS
Wagyu Films is an independent UK-based film production company known for creating visually striking and atmospheric genre films, particularly within the horror and thriller spaces. Founded by a close-knit group of creatives—David A. Roberts (writer/director), Shaun Bishop (director of photography), Keith Lupton (production designer), and Scott Bishop (VFX and post-production supervisor)—the company has built a reputation for crafting emotionally intense, stylized stories often grounded in folklore and cosmic horror.
Their most notable project to date is the feature film Older Gods, a Lovecraftian folk-horror story written and directed by David A. Roberts. The film follows a man grieving the mysterious death of a friend, who uncovers a dark cult and otherworldly presence in the remote Welsh countryside. Older Gods showcases the team’s signature blend of moody visuals, psychological tension, and slow-burning narrative.
Through this and earlier short films like Weight, Afterlyfe, and Embers, Wagyu Films has demonstrated a commitment to storytelling that merges emotional depth with genre filmmaking, carving out a distinct identity in the UK indie film scene that has spread internationally.
Wagyu Films have won multiple international awards and been official selection in dozens of film festivals.
