For the third consecutive year, WILD FILMMAKER confirms itself during the American Film Market as the world’s leading platform for the promotion of independent cinema.
We are thrilled to have received this recognition once again, a result that belongs above all to you, the filmmakers who have supported us. Your creative commitment fuels our mission, and we will continue to support you thanks to our network of independent producers and distributors.
After the great success at the American Film Market, we are already working on new projects for 2026, from the European Film Market in Berlin to Cannes next spring.
We deeply believe that independent artists can succeed only by standing united, a strategy that is definitely rewarding us! We are proud of you and thank you sincerely.
