Diario Italiano Film Festival 2024, Florence
BEST DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
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.

Indobali international film festival, Indonesia
Art, in all forms, inspires us. From the first drawings of the prehistoric man to Artificial Intelligence driven illustrations, the journey of art has been one of curiosity, progress and redemption. The form of cinema is the most impactful of them all. It is only this art-form that has the power to blend time with space. The real and the imaginary correspond to one another in films. It is only in cinema that we can reflect, introspect and often modify our realities as well as our history. It is a medium to look into our past and our future.
