Welcome to River Wild Films!

Inspired by my son, River, we started River Wild Films to write, produce and direct films that are family friendly and all about human connection. Our first feature film, Getting Back is officially finished! After months of hard work, this Oregon-made film is ready to be shared with audiences. We’re currently pursuing distribution opportunities while preparing for the film’s upcoming premiere on September 26th 2026, at 2:00pm, at Salem Cinema. We can’t wait to celebrate with our cast, crew, and community and take the next step in Getting Back’s journey.
