WE ARE YOUR ENEMY

WAYE (We Are Your Enemy) is a Film Production and Creative Collective established in 2018, NOW BASED IN LONDON AND MILAN, ItALY.

Founded by AWARD WINNING filmmaker Federica Schiavello and visual artist Jay Ganduglia, WAYE has been consistently working with independent artists and projects over the years, spanning from short and feature films, documentaries, music videos, live art, advertisement and more. 

We search for intimate and singular social issue-driven films, attached to the old school of authorial cinema and art, where the heart meets the audience.

Our films have been screened and shot around the world’s stages and festivals (LOCARNO, SLAMDANCE, BERLIN, MANCHESTER), diving into the heart and soul of filmmaking.

WAYE has many collaborators around the world, thriving through exchange of ideas, skills and ultimately, a love for storytelling. 

waye is an independent film production and creative collective.
