"Get Out" was directed by the genius filmmaker, Jordan Peele for Universal Pictures, and achieved a worldwide theatrical gross of $255,000,000 USD. "BlacKkKlansman", directed by the iconic and celebrated, Spike Lee for Focus Features, currently has a worldwide theatrical gross of approximately $90,000,000 USD.

At the 2018 Cannes International Film Festival, iDream Entertainment, along with Focus Features, world premiered Spike Lee's "BlacKkKlansman", which was selected for Competition and won the coveted Grand Prix Award. Shaun Redick and iDream Entertainment partner, Yvette Yates, discovered Ron Stallworth's book and true story for "BlacKkKlansman", and developed the screenplay together with the original writers, Charlie Wachtel and David Rabinowitz, before bringing on board the Dream Team of Peele and his production company Monkey Paw, Blum and Blumhouse, and Spike Lee and 40 Acres and a Mule, as well as Focus Features.

Kirk Shaw, CEO of Wonderfilm, "When we originally designed Wonderfilm as an umbrella for other Producers to join, we envisioned this level of content creators. Shaun Redick, Dan Grodnik and I have known each other for many years so it's personally and professionally marvelous to have both of them join the Wonderfilm team as our resident Producers and collaborators. Shaun and Yvette bring a demonstrated talent for successfully taking the kernel of an idea and then translating it into award-winning, globally successful feature films. For Wonderfilm this partnership immediately broadens our current slate and early development pipeline of films, which approximates ~250 million USD, while adding theatrical feature film releasing to the expanding Wonderfilm business model.

Shaun Redick, "We are very excited to work with Kirk, Dan and Wonderfilm. We look forward to blending iDream Entertainment's creative and development slate with Wonderfilm's production and financing strengths to release films that both send a message and continue to find mass public appeal. Our goals are aligned to expand into a studio partnership and worldwide distribution and be a one stop shop".

Dan Grodnik said, "Shaun and Yvette have proven they are in a league of their own, we are thrilled to have them join the Wonderfilm team. The business of content creation and IP ownership is changing and the term "Independent Producer" is fast becoming an antiquated label in favor of interdependent producers who share experience, projects, relationships and resources. This is the foundation on which Wonderfilm was created.

Producer Yvette Yates Redick oversees the company's mandate for diversity and serves on advisory boards of organizations aimed at inclusion. Said Yvette, "We love what we do, and it's reflected in our storytelling that brings women and people of color to the forefront in all capacities. It's an exciting time, and Impossible Dream Entertainment, along with Wonderfilm, are going to be raising the stakes."
