Exclusive: WME has signed award-winning filmmaker Alysa Nahmias and her production company Ajna Films for representation.

Nahmias most recently directed the awards-contending feature documentary Art & Krimes by Krimes about Philadelphia artist Jesse Krimes, who found a way to create stunning artworks while behind bars, smuggling his large-scale artwork out of prison as a way to survive in the act of creativity. The film acquired last year by MTV Documentary Films has won numerous festival prizes. After a limited theatrical run, Art & Krimes by Krimes will launch November 29th on Paramount+.

Nahmias also recently produced Amazon Studios’ celebrated documentary Wildcat from directors Trevor Frost and Melissa Lesh, which world premiered at the 2022 Telluride Film Festival. The film tells the story of the young British soldier Harry Turner, who struggles with depression and Ptsd after getting back from war in Afghanistan, finding a second chance in the Amazon rainforest when he meets an American scientist,...

In October of 2021, Amazon Studios announced it was acquiring Trevor Beck Frost and Melissa Lesh’s “Wildcat” for a price nearing 20 million, a staggering sum for a doc of its kind. Produced by 30West, the film tells the story of former British soldier Harry Turner and conservationist Samantha Wicker, who help heal each other while caring for a small ocelot wildcat in the deep Peruvian rainforest.

This is Frost and Lesh’s first feature film. Frost comes from a still photography background, with work published in National Geographic and the New York Times, while Lesh has previously worked with short films. The documentary has picked up considerable steam on the brink of awards season, having recently been nominated for two IDA Documentary Awards for editing and score (Patrick Jonsson).

“I was a still photographer before making this film,” reveals Trevor Frost, who co-directed the Amazon Prime Video documentary “Wildcat” with Melissa Lesh. “I was looking for a new story for National Geographic magazine and I was down in Peru looking for anacondas with a team of local and international researchers. We were there for 60 days and we weren’t finding any anacondas. I was sitting in a hotel lobby and Harry walked by and he’s covered in tattoos and he didn’t have a shirt on. My friend leaned over and said, ‘Did you see that young man with the tattoos? His name’s Harry, you won’t believe his story.'”

Amazon Prime Video is pushing new wildlife documentary “Wildcat” — from directors Melissa Lesh and Trevor Frost and producers Joshua Altman and Alysa Nahmias — into the busy nonfiction fall fray.

Per the official synopsis, “Wildcat” follows the inspiring story of young veteran Harry Turner on his journey into the Amazon.

I have a love/hate relationship with Bruce Willis these days. On the one hand he stars in films I love such as the Red, G.I. Joe and The Expendables; and on the other he appears in direct to market dross like The Prince, Set-Up and Vice. Now don’t get me wrong, some of the direct to DVD titles Willis has appeared in are pretty good, Fire With Fire for example, but he’s been batting way below average on the Dtv front recently.

Hot on the heels of joining Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool, Fast and Furious and Haywire starlet Gina Carano has signed on for Steven C. Miller’s upcoming CIA thriller Extraction, along with Twilight star Kellan Lutz.

News comes via Deadline, who report that the pair will star opposite Bruce Willis in the actioner. According to the outlet, Lutz will assume the role of Harry Turner, a rookie agent yet to cut his teeth in the agency. With his father (Willis) missing, Turner flies in the face of direct orders and sets out on a mission to find him, but this soon leads to a manhunt spearheaded by Carano’s steely field operative, Victoria. And given the actress’ ass-kicking reputation accrued from her time spent in Mma, we don’t envy Turner’s plight.

Less than one month after actor Bruce Willis boarded the action-thriller Extraction, Gina Carano has been confirmed to join the cast, along with Kellan Lutz. We reported last week that actress Gina Carano will star in Extraction before she plays Angel Dust in Deadpool, but now her role has been confirmed.

The story centers on a CIA agent (Bruce Willis) who gets kidnapped by a terrorist group. Kellan Lutz is playing his son, Harry Turner, a CIA rookie agent who conducts a rescue mission on his own, against the agency's wishes. Gina Carano is playing Victoria, a hardened field operative tasked with finding Harry. The supporting cast includes Dan Bilzerian, Lydia Hull and Tyler J. Olson.
