It premieres January 21.
C.O.G. is director Kyle Patrick Alvarez's second film and is based on the essay by David Sedaris. Starring Jonathan Groff, this coming of age story is full of wit and sadness.

Lovelace is Rob Epstein's and Jeffrey Friedman's fictionalized look at the story of famed porn actress, Linda Lovelace, starring Amanda Seyfried as the title character.

Lovelace premieres January 22 in Park City.

Evan Jackson Leong's film, Linsanity, documents the rise of backup point guard Jeremy Lin and the 2012 season of the New York Nicks. It premieres January 20. Narco Cultura looks at the devistaton brought on by Mexico's drug war and the pop culture phenomena that has grown out of it. It screens January 21.

Wildfire Studios's own Javier Bennessar provided post production sound and we are so proud of his work on the film that Indiewire calls "one of the year's best." Check out the review here.
Congratulations to Dariel Arrechada and Javier Núñez Florián, awarded Best Actor in a Narrative Feature at the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival, as Raul and Elio in Una Noche, directed by Lucy Mulloy.
Jury Comments: "We give the award for Best Actor in a Narrative Feature to Dariel Arrechada and to Javier Nunez Florian in Una Noche, for potent individual performances that together are even greater than the sum of their parts. Playing Raul and Elio, young Cuban men who goad each other on in a dream of fleeing Havana for a fantasy of Miami, Dariel locates Raul's danger and sexual power as precisely as Javier taps into Elio's essential sweetness. Both young actors are nonprofessionals who took great risks to tell a daring story. Each won our hearts."
Wildfire is honored to have mixed this incredible film on our Los Angeles stage.
