Junior Editor at Wild Reply
Introduction:
When the world calls, give it your wild reply. That’s our belief: when faced with life’s opportunities and challenges, we all should respond as our truly authentic, uninhibited selves. And we believe by helping tell the stories of those who are living their lives authentically and striving to affect change in the world, we can—with curiosity, empathy, and honesty—do our part to inspire and inform others. If we make some pretty pictures along the way, even better.
Our work sits at the intersection of documentary filmmaking and values-based brand storytelling. We are craftspeople, caretakers, and collaborators. In a saturated content landscape, our competitive edge is our emotional depth, human-centered process, and reverence for the real. Wild Reply speaks to the truth that storytelling is never a solitary act. It suggests a conversation between the filmmaker and the subject, between the world and the ones paying attention. Our work begins by listening and honoring another’s experience before crafting the reply.
