"Summer 2025 marked the greatest milestone ever achieved by the WILD FILMMAKER Movement, five years after the founding of the Magazine.
A success that has made WILD FILMMAKER the only independent community in the world with over 70,000 artists participating in various initiatives, and a brand presence in the international press that is truly unparalleled.
This triumph crowns a global movement dedicated to independent cinema—an idea inspired by the French Nouvelle Vague and Roger Corman’s New Hollywood, but for the first time, including artists from every corner of the planet.
Moreover, the WILD FILMMAKER Community now includes members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as well as artists selected by the world’s leading festivals—from the Cannes Film Festival to Sundance and Tribeca.
A recognition that fills us with pride and motivates us to continue our mission: to create cinema rooted in free creative expression.
