LOBO managing director Luis Ribeiro added, “Wade can flawlessly translate what he sees in his mind to what manifests on screen with such artistic execution and integrity. His live-action films reflect his broad experience as a multidisciplinary creative with rich environments and deep-feeling performances.”
