The Best Independent Artist of the Year Make the Voices Heard!

By Editorial Staff

Following the overwhelming success of our events in California—with over 40,000 participating artists and submissions from 32 countries—we’re proud to say it loud and clear: THE WILD FILMMAKER COMMUNITY is now the largest global platform for independent artists. Even Oscar-winning directors and screenwriters, along with the international press, have taken notice!

In just five years, we’ve achieved a remarkable milestone—and we’re celebrating it with what’s shaping up to be the biggest arthouse cinema event in Manhattan, New York City. The event is called NATURAL BORN ARTIST, and it’s our way of saying Happy Birthday to WILD FILMMAKER—since this extraordinary journey began exactly five years ago, in August.

To all the artists who believed in us, we owe you a heartfelt THANK YOU. Without you, WILD FILMMAKER wouldn’t include Academy members, wouldn’t be the most visible independent brand at major international festivals, featured in publications like The Hollywood Reporter and Variety, and we never would have had the honor of hosting film critics from The New York Times and IndieWire.

We’ve won—and we’re just getting started. Our mission remains unchanged: The poetry of free cinema will save the world.

Coming up next: the artists who joined our “MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!” project.
