Wonder Unit is a movie studio of creative talent that develops wonderful stories and produces those stories into movies. We also develop tools to help us make those movies.
At the core of a great movie is a great story.
We are developing stories where the philosophical theme is cynicism vs a childlike sense of wonder - stories where the protagonists are marginalized by society: PoC, women, creatives, nails that stick up, outcasts, iconoclasts, etc. - living in fantastic worlds, hidden in plain sight. These stories will be bold and not pull any punches. They won’t talk down to anyone.
Everyone knows how to make a big movie: you just throw a lot of money at it. But to make a great movie, you have to put a lot of love into it. We're building teams of creative, curious, emotionally intelligent people with great taste. The story teams are lead by directors that create the initial kernel of a potentially great story. No story starts out great. The story is written and storyboarded with the idea that the story will change and become better with every iteration. Storyboarding allows us to visually direct the movie, and experience it without the huge cost of going into production. This allows us to iterate many times at a low cost for a longer amount of time to develop great stories.
This is very much modeled after the story development process that Pixar uses. The main difference is that we are developing stories for live action production. Pixar jokes that for every great Pixar movie you see, there are 5 bad versions of the movie you don't see.
So contrary to other studios, our story development process is longer, team-based, iterative, and test driven. This allows us to have multiple story teams developing stories concurrently.
