Wilder Yari is an award-winning actor, director, and visual artist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

Their music video directing work has been recognized by NPR, Refinery 29, and Out Magazine, and they've been fortunate to work on videos for brands like Credit Karma and Captain Morgan. Recently, their feature film script NEEM-ROONI was a finalist for the Sundance 2021 Creative Producing Lab and is currently in contention for the 2023 Sundance Development Track. 

Wilder's creative style can be characterized by fluid camera work, saturated color, and a wild streak of the absurd. They pride themselves on using their extensive acting training to connect with talent and coach them to be their freest selves in front of the camera. 

Wilder splits their time between New York and LA, and can usually be found on the nearest dance floor.
