Synopsis: Anna receives an urgent phone call from her desperate-sounding and somewhat estranged mother, Helen. Anna’s troubled brother has returned to the family home; Helen needs Anna’s help and it must be right now – definitely before tonight. The Wilds tells the story of the day Anna Wild finally reconnects with her family; all thanks to a lycanthropy-based emergency.
About the Filmmaker: Greig’s debut film was nominated for Best UK Short at Leeds International Film Festival. His follow-up Hilarity was shortlisted for the BBC Talent New Filmmaker Award and Best UK Short at both Leeds and Hull International Film Festivals and subsequently requested to screen for a month at the Kino Aero in Prague. His adaptation of William Burroughs’ Mr Bradley Mr Martin… received nominations for Best Yorkshire Short, again at both Leeds and Hull, then screened in Berlin, Montreal and Denmark, ultimately becoming one of six films nominated for Best UK Short at London’s Raindance Film Festival. Like the many, many YouTube shorts, sketches and music videos he has created over the past fifteen years, all of the above projects were conceived, designed, shot, scored and edited by Greig. As well as being a filmmaker, Greig is an actor, who can currently be seen performing a variety of characters in BBC2’s BAFTA-nominated The Mash Report and CBBC’s BAFTA-winning Class Dismissed, for which Greig is now writing the fifth series.
