EXCLUSIVE: Wise Child Studios, the recently launched production company of Jason Beekman and Ryan Miller, has announced the formation of the Wise Child Collective, a group of creatives from across the country that will aim to help both individual artists and small companies overcome obstacles in getting projects off the ground.
Creatives participating in the inaugural 2025-27 Collective include director and showrunner Lisa Bryant (Netflix’s Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich and Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich); Emmy-winning producer and director Paul Burger (Nat Geo’s Trafficked With Mariana van Zeller); and Emmy-winning director and showrunner Amy Bucher (Frontline’s After Uvalde: Guns, Grief, and Texas Politics and CNN’s This Is Life with Lisa Ling).
Intended to support both up-and-coming and established talent, Wise Child Collective will be a mix of producers, directors, writers, and journalists representing diverse backgrounds and experiences, who in collaborating with Wise Child Studios, will share in the company’s creative and financial success.
Members of The Collective will have first-look-style deals, which are normally only available to more established talent. The new program launches in January and comes at a time when Wise Child is laying down roots in Los Angeles with a new office that opened in November.
