About

THE COMPANY

65 Wilding Films is an international film production company managed by producer Alex Thiele. It was founded in 2011 and is based in London, UK.

Our mission at 65 Wilding Films is to produce distinct, cross-cultural, boundary-pushing content aimed at a global audience. The company is particularly focused on telling stories from a queer and female-led perspective, and championing signature works from emerging and established filmmakers that the market does not necessarily support. Our approach is to find projects that have the indie arthouse sensibility but also have the breakout potential and subsequent ability to connect with wider audiences.
