Jodi Wille is a filmmaker, curator, publisher, and storyteller whose work illuminates American subcultures and the search for transcendence. Drawn to the mysteries that lie beyond conventional experience, she explores the lives, archives, and creative expressions of individuals and communities whose radical visions expand our understanding of art, spirituality, and identity.

Her immersive yet reflective approach has produced distinctive works across film, publishing, and exhibition. She directed and produced the acclaimed feature documentary The Source Family (2012) and recently premiered Welcome, Space Brothers (2023), a feature-length documentary on The Unarius Academy of Science.

Earlier in her career, Wille worked as a photographer and music video director for artists including R.E.M., Sparks, and Vincent Gallo, while also documenting alternative spiritual movements and self-taught visionary artists.

As cofounder of the publishing houses Dilettante Press (1998), Process Media (2004), and Otherworld (2022), she has edited and published numerous award-winning books and co-authored Family: The Source Family Scrapbook (2022, Otherworld and Sacred Bones).

Her curatorial work spans institutions such as The American Visionary Art Museum, Deitch Projects, Nicodim Gallery, and The Horse Hospital in London, as well as film and cultural programs across the United States and the United Kingdom.

In 2021, Wille was invited to guest co-edit a special issue of Religious Studies Review, the leading academic journal for the field, titled New Religious Movements and Documentary Film, now used as a teaching guide in universities.
