NYC/LA Based Filmmaker

Having written, directed and edited features, television and commercials, William is an award winning, bi-coastal filmmaker in all phases of production.

As the youngest of six boys, and coming from an Academy Award winning family (Geoff Wedig, 2017), Will grew up in one of poorest counties in Southeastern Ohio. William grew up obsessed with films, watching “popcorn flicks” late into the night. This is where he found his inspirations: the style of Ridley, the movement of Boyle and Bigelow, and the heart of Singelton. The off-kilter worlds and characters of the Coens alongside the stylings of Liman and Tarantino and the comedy of Smith and Linklater. These were his mentors and these highly creative films became his school books.

Recently, his script, The Devil’s Chasing Me, was a semi-finalist in the 2023 International Screenplay Associations Table Read my Screenplay Contest, placing the top 1.5% of over 6,500 submissions, made it to the Second Round of the ISA Fast Track Contest, and was a semi-finalist in the Final Draft Big Break Contest. Additionally he’s had work place in the top 20% of the Nicholls Fellowship, the Tracking Board’s Launch Pad and more.

His films have won festivals The Coney Island Film Festival (Bygones, Best Comedy Short) and the HBO New York Latino Film Festival (Forged, Best Feature Film).

He’s a proud member of the Motion Pictures Editor’s Guild and has moderated panels with the Oscar-winning teams behind films such as Inception, True Romance, La La Land and more.

With extensive commercial experience, Will has directed commercial and digital content for brands like Coca-Cola (featuring singers Monica Brown & LeToya Luckett), Smirnoff (feat. Lance Gross), AT&T (feat. St. Beauty, Chevy w/artist Ron Bass, Walmart, and Geico.

On TV, William's single-camera kids show, Team Toon, was produced for Cartoon Network and FremantleMedia, and is now on Netflix (US) and Amazon Prime (UK).  As the series director, William Wedig directed 24 of 26 episodes of Team Toon starring Disney/ABC star Meg Donnelly (American Housewife, The Broken Ones, Zombies).

The shoot consisted of 145 shooting days, 550 script pages and over 5,000 individual shots.

William's feature film Forged (which he wrote, directed and edited) won the HBO Latino Film Festival and the Providence Latin American Film Festival. Forged stars Emmy winner Margo Martindale (The Americans, August: Osage County, Cocaine Bear), Jaime Tirelli (Girlfight, Carlito’s Way), and Manny Perez (Homeland, Pride and Glory, Blacklist, the La Soga trilogy).

Variety’s Ronnie Scheib writes of Forged: "The film’s powerful ending builds kinetically," and lead actor Manny Perez is “frighteningly convincing as a man ruled by desperation.”
