why we do it
Makewild was founded in 2012 as somewhere we could align our creative, professional, and adventurous interests and collaborate with other talented creatives. After years of working independently, the core team met in Los Angeles to build a company together.
Since then, we’ve made movies from rafts in canyon country, motorcycles in the high desert, and remote islands in the Caribbean. We’ve shared stories of underground surfers in Cuba, rug dealers in Marrakesh, soccer stars in Ghana, and celebrity bedazzlers in New York. We’ve mastered our craft by translating the stoke of adventure into more impactful, timely, and heartfelt tales of people who strive to live life to the fullest - regardless of the challenges.
We’ve grown our team by collaborating with people who share a passion for authentic stories, breathtaking visuals and scores, and nimble productions with cinematic deliverables. We work primarily from offices in Venice Beach, Oakland, and Lisbon, Portugal but film throughout the world.
