Who Are We?
Madison Wells is an award-winning, independent entertainment company that partners with creatives to bring overlooked stories and storytellers to life. Founded by award-winning producer Gigi Pritzker, the Madison Wells team has a strong bias towards stories for, by, and about badass women, as well as people who love pushing boundaries, navigating uncharted waters to spotlight unique voices, and pressing stories that need to be told. Madison Wells develops, produces, and funds projects predominantly in the film, television, and theatre space, while incubating content with partners who are aligned in our belief that good storytelling sparks important conversation. Those stories can start in many forms before they reach the stage or big screen. From the Broadway musicals "Million Dollar Quartet" and "Hadestown" to National Geographic’s limited series “Genius” to the Chicago-based immersive art experience “Nevermore Park,” Madison Wells produces purpose-driven projects that are distributed on all platforms.
