Where bold visuals meet meaningful narratives.

About

At Parhelion, we craft cinematic stories inspired by the raw beauty of the natural world. Founded by a Oliver Wheeldon whose journeys to Antarctica shaped a deep reverence for landscapes and untold environments, our work captures the extraordinary — from sweeping drone cinematography to emotionally grounded scripted narratives. Based in the UK and driven by a passion for visual storytelling, we aim to tell stories that capture the depth of human experience.
