Selected frame from Holy Rave

Holy Rave is a provocative psychological thriller centered on a desperate priest who opens a sacrilegious nightclub to reclaim his congregation, only to spiral into madness following a fatal confrontation.

In my post-production work on this film, I focused on visually manifesting this psychological descent. I developed a progressively darkening color grade and a high-contrast palette designed to mirror the protagonist's fracturing reality.

By blending modern club aesthetics with traditional religious iconography, I used editorial pacing and color science to build an immersive, claustrophobic atmosphere.
