Chris Wheat - Founder

Chris Wheat grew up in Washington D.C. and Kansas City, Missouri. He graduated from Claremont McKenna College in 2015 with a degree in philosophy and public affairs, after which he began a journey through the counterculture in search of a better way to create sustainable change in the world. He believes in the power of fiction to inspire, to impact policy, and to impact social change.

His journey led him to found “Studio Yolanda,” which shot its first official short and calling card, “C’est La Vie, Mr. Wheat,” in Paris, France in 2022.

Studio Yolanda is currently producing “They Are Discriminating Against The Blobs,” a parable about anti-xenophobia and anti-hate, for release in 2025, among other projects.

When Chris is not writing he tries to stay involved in political activism. He is currently an MA Candidate in Creative Writing at University of Kent in Canterbury ‘26
