Wild Filmmaker is the first magazine in the World dedicated to the post-cinematographic era in which we are living and where all human beings that have a smartphone can tell a story through images.

Until a few decades ago, going to the Circus was considered interesting and even fun, elephant bowing in front of the crowd or the lion playing with a colorful ball like a kitten. Today, the public opinion is horrified at this behaviour considering the poor elephant and lion victims of men’s pleasures.

All this confirms that Art evolves together with awareness from the audience it is intended. In this historical moment, Cinema is facing an evolution phase that is ongoing.

We are beginning to realize that Cinema, like the Elephant and Lion, have the right to exist freely.

Our task is to explore and find unique talents, support their work, vision and production. «Dialog» is focusing on independent filmmakers, fully developing their potential, to express their voice and vision to the world and we are doing the best we can to make this voice heard by as many people as possible.
