In September 2017, Kirk Shaw embraced a new film-making adventure by forming the publicly traded company, Wonderfilm, as a founding producer along with Dan Grodnik, Jeff Bowler and Bret Saxon. Wonderfilm has a $60 million slate of production in place for 2018 with one of the first films under this new venture being Moose, with John Travolta, followed by Nicolas Cage in Primal, going to camera in Puerto Rico.
Kirk Shaw is one of the leading independent filmmakers in the U.S., having produced 230 films. Kirk has a proven, innovative approach to financing and packaging television and film content around the world including Canada, many U.S. states, Europe, Asia, and South America. In an industry often more interested in the bottom line than artistic merit, Kirk is equally proud that his producer resume illustrates a strong creative balance between strictly commercial films and more meaningful artistic film endeavors that can also turn a profit for the producer and investors.
Shaw has worked with all the major studios and contributed his creative and financing talents to the Oscar-winning, The Hurt Locker and worked with many notable stars such as Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson, Cuba Gooding Jr., Kim Basinger, John Travolta, Jean Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis and Sylvester Stallone.
