synopsis
Wild Fire is the story of seven acquaintances that get radically honest about their lives one night around a fire after a party. Unknowingly, they all come to the gathering at a crossroads—one they each have been avoiding, for perhaps their entire life. After an unyielding game of Truth or Dare, the exemplary couple opens up about what they’re going through—that they’re not as perfect as they seem. This sets the stage for the rest of the group to open up about their lives, unspoken desires…and secrets. The following morning back in their bedrooms, each couple must choose a path. Will they integrate their newly exposed truths…or choose to act as if nothing has changed?
"The Truth will set you free … BUT CAN YOU HANDLE IT?"
HalfJack Generation is a Production Company devoted to creating films that elevate the consciousness of humanity. We are committed to telling stories of inner demons and the courage it takes to face them, tales of seeking expansion and authenticity above all else, and showing the journey of Becoming one’s Truest expression as the grandest meaning of life. As our planet moves away from blame, victimization, separateness and war, and into self-awareness, the realization of Oneness and joyfully taking responsibility for the canvas of one’s life, HalfJack Generation is not just here for it, we are the Way Makers.

the cast
The cast of Wild Fire is absolutely electric. From the very first self-tapes, these seven actors stood out amongst well-over a thousand submissions. And from a carefully sifted group of 50 live auditions, they resonated so deeply with the characters in the script, that their place in this film became undeniable. We thought their presence and chemistry was fierce over months of online rehearsals—we were blown away once we got them in the same room.

"AVARY stands before her cluttered countertop in a comfort-first bath robe. Her precarious essence is decades younger than
her age."

HUSBAND OF THE F*CKING YEAR
"Ronnie's husband, TOM , comes into focus in the doorway, holding a tray of breakfast. A guy who married his best friend and never saw her again...but never stopped looking for her."

HOPE-FILLED HOPELESS
"It’s NOAH, hair slicked and dressed up for the party. He lifts the ice with a big smile, posing in preparation of Elliana answering the door. Silver fox with a heart of gold."

The crew on Wild Fire is small. Extraordinarily small. And we pulled it off because every single member is a rock-solid, insanely-talented, deeply-passionate human, dedicated to telling this important story through a gorgeous film. We met in late 2021 and became fast family—juggling hats, hustling, and enjoying every second. And here we are a year later, with a work of art and memories that will last a lifetime."
