In 2020, she directed the branded short “Wake Up,” starring Margaret Qualley for HP. The film, which explores human connections and our relationship with technology, debuted alongside the Sundance Film Festival, was shortlisted for a Tribeca X Award, and was awarded Best New Director at the AICP Awards.
Wilde is a board member of the organization “Artists for Peace and Justice,” which supports communities in Haiti through programs in education, health care, and dignity through the performing arts.
She is currently set to direct A24’s series adaption of Jennifer Egan’s best-selling novels A Visit from the Goon Squad and its sequel The Candy House.
