“The strength of WILD FILMMAKER lies in its affiliated filmmakers and its vision of cinema, which places the filmmaker at the heart of the project rather than the marketing mechanisms of the industry. What once seemed like a utopia has now become a reality.”
With these words, we announced our presence at AFM 2026, pleasantly surprising industry professionals in attendance when they discovered that we are the only platform in the world to host events at major international film festivals while maintaining a presence across leading media outlets.
At the heart of our new initiatives is the Global Foreign Press Awards, a major international event that will honor both independent films and major productions, fostering connections between cinema, the press, and the film industry. The winners will be announced on November 15.
WILD FILMMAKER is also expanding its film production activities with a new project that will feature the participation of cult filmmaker Abel Ferrara, one of the greatest living independent directors and a contemporary heir to the spirit of John Cassavetes. Further details will be announced next year.
The history of cinema has shown that the greatest creativity is born from independence. This is the vision that drives WILD FILMMAKER and its continued international growth.
