About Karlis Wilde

Karlis has been obsessing over television and movie news since he first learned how to read. He has worked in tech, as a musician, and in journalism with a well-rounded knowledge base of pop-culture throughout the eras. He claims that he has memorized the entire Internet Movie Database, and to date no one has been able to refute this.
Holding a Bachelor's Degree in Religion and Culture from Wilfrid Laurier University, Karlis loves to examine the intersections of popular science-fiction and culture. His latest novel MASS. is available now on Amazon and examines a world where obesity has become a federal crime.

Favorite Media

Karlis is an avid reader and cinephile with a love for creativity and originality above all else. When not reading novels by Tolstoy, Gogol and Turgenev, he enjoys a good X-Men comic book (Hickman's House of X as a relatively recent favourite), a Brandon Sanderson series or an issue of Gunnm.
When it comes to film, Karlis has a diverse range of interests, and will happily debate the merits of both Federico Fellini's Amarcord and Zack Snyder's Justice League (both perfect films). Some of his other favourites include James Cameron's Avatar, Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye and Michelangelo Antonioni's La Notte.
 

Industry Focus

Karlis has been a novelist and journalist in southern Ontario for over a decade.
He has juggled vocations in tech with creative projects in poetry and literature with a special focus on culture, including its impacts on media. He is knowledgeable in popular and arthouse cinema, literature, comic books, and adaptation. Karlis has been writing for ScreenRant since 2024.
