Hi from Wildly!

Let's back up a full year, to one of the more exciting opportunities Wildly has had. In March of 2022, while filming the Paramount+ documentary "The Only", Nils & Curran found themselves in the White House, where Briana Scurry joined Kamala Harris as part of the Equal Pay Day Summit. Watch the trailer for "The Only" here!

At the end of 2022 we had the opportunity to create a unique holiday commercial for Rumpl, an outdoor blanket company. We decided on a concept that felt a little unexpected for the holidays - a snowy hike followed by a polar plunge in an alpine lake. It turned out to be an incredibly fun afternoon on set. After a lovely walk through the forest, it was time for a (very cold) swim. Nils jumped in the water with a wetsuit and a camera, Curran ran down the dock with our actors, and Liv covered the wide from shore. After everyone warmed up, we still had a few minutes of golden hour left, and we squeezed in one final alpenglow moment to close the spot. Check out the final product and let us know what you think! We had a blast.

The story of Andrea Allen is unique and pivotal to the barista community. It’s a story of perseverance, of craft, of quality over quantity, of pushing boundaries, of family, and of community. For nearly two years, we've followed Andrea through her journey from the US Barista Championships to the world stage in Milan. We're so excited to announce that our doc series, "The Road to Milan", is now on the festival circuit! It most recently played in the Oregon Documentary Film Festival, where it won the best series episode award. Next up is the New York City Independent Film Festival. Watch the trailer here!

What does it mean to be a woman of color under the bright stadium lights of professional sports in the U.S.? What common ground is found between seasoned veterans on the USWNT, first-year rookies coming off the bench, or players advocating for mental health?

For over two years we’ve been working on The Call Up, a documentary project that takes an intimate look at the experiences of Black, professional female athletes in the United States. We're excited for this material to be out in the world. Stay tuned for where to watch it!

In other news... Nils is married! The whole Wildly crew made their way to New Zealand for a beautiful ceremony and a special week with loved ones.
