OUR BRAND

Wanderlust AF is a documentary-led production company driven by a passion for real stories and global storytelling.

Our work takes us around the world — from remote landscapes to high-performance arenas — capturing moments of human grit, ambition, and transformation. We’re drawn to stories of people pushing themselves to the edge, whether it’s athletes chasing the limits of endurance or individuals overcoming extraordinary challenges. With a cinematic eye and a documentary heart, we tell stories that inspire and connect.

We are especially passionate about discovering stories with strong female leads and wholeheartedly believe in our power to create the change we wish to see in the world through filmmaking

DOCUMENTARIES

We develop story-led documentaries that put people, places, and ideas at the centre. Our process begins with curiosity — finding the emotional core of a story and shaping it into a compelling narrative to engage global audiences.

BRANDED CONTENT

We produce branded documentaries in both short and long form as well as high end brand promotional content.
From development to final edit, we handle every stage of production with a focus on clarity, quality, and storytelling that sticks. Our films carry a signature style: cinematic, honest, and quietly powerful.

ACTION FILM ACADEMY

Our mission to educate is at the very forefront of what we do. Being female founded is where it began, with an aim to increase female filmmakers in the adventure space. From this focus the Create and Educate ethos was born.

"I have worked with Wanderlust for many years and have trusted them to deliver world class production for a number of different clients. They invest heavily in the process of delivering a top quality service from working closely with the client on the brief, brainstorming stories and ideas that work for broadcast or for digital, putting together a custom team to suit the clients needs, through to delivering to brief and beyond. The content that the teams produce is consistently engaging and beautifully shot. You get a partner when you work with Wanderlust and I can wholeheartedly recommend them."
