The Wonderfilm Media Corporation: Wonderfilm Congratulates Newest Partner, Impossible Dream Entertainment, On Oscar Win For 'Blackkklansman' At The 91st Academy Awards

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 25, 2019 / The Wonderfilm Media Corporation (TSX-V: WNDR), (OTC PINK: WDRFF), (FRA: 25Y), ("Wonderfilm" or "Company"), a technology, media and entertainment company, is pleased to recognize and congratulate our newest producing partners and Oscar winning duo, Shaun Redick & Yvette Yates Redick on their success of "BlacKkKlansman', which garnered the Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar at the 91st Academy Awards held on February 24, 2019. The award further solidifies Shaun & Yvette as industry leading producers whom are able to develop story ideas into silver screen successes. BlacKkKlansman's Oscar win and nominations are tremendous follow-ups for Shaun and Yvette as their feature film, "Get Out', won the Academy Award for Best Screenplay at last year's award ceremony.

Shaun & Yvette's company, Impossible Dream Entertainment ("iDream Ent."), packaged and produced "BlacKkKlansman', while the film was directed by the iconic and celebrated Spike Lee. This feature has currently surpassed a worldwide theatrical gross of approximately $90,000,000 USD. iDream Ent's 2017 feature, "Get Out', directed by filmmaker Jordan Peele for Universal Pictures, achieved an amazing worldwide theatrical gross of $255,000,000 USD.

"Shaun and Yvette have an exceptional eye for identifying exciting content and being able to transform those ideas into award winning, high grossing movies," said Kirk Shaw, CEO of Wonderfilm. "In BlacKkKlansman's case, the production duo optioned the book and oversaw development of the story into a screenplay alongside the director Spike Lee. It truly takes unique talent and rare skill to recognize an idea's potential and further guide it through the process of becoming a feature film that gains multiple Oscar nominations. This year's Oscar nod further demonstrates what I've known for years, that few producers match Shaun and Yvette's creative and business acumen. Everyone at Wonderfilm looks forward to working with Shaun and Yvette this year on our combined movie slate."
