Wendy Wilkins is an award-nominated screenwriter, filmmaker, and actress, known for creating, writing, directing, and producing the feature film Death on the Border, in which she also plays a key role. Based on true events, the film shines a light on domestic violence and child trafficking and features Oscar nominee Eric Roberts and Danny Trejo. It premiered as the opening night feature at the prestigious Beverly Hills Film Festival before a limited theatrical release and is now streaming on Cinesphere YouTube, Amazon Prime, Tubi, Apple TV, as well as in multiple international markets.
A bold, character-driven storyteller, Wendy creates compelling, socially impactful narratives with a sharp eye for high-stakes drama. Her screenwriting earned industry recognition early, with Death on the Border receiving multiple award nominations prior to production. She also created, wrote, produced, and starred in Big Bully Bank, a sharp-witted satire that won “Best Comedy Scene” at the AOF International Film Festival and Best Cinematography at the AIF Festival, and was showcased at the Occupy Sundance Film Festival. Expanding into digital series, she created and starred in the award-winning mockumentary Adventures of Aurora, a satirical look at a millennial who cares more about likes than anything else.
Wendy is also the author of the #1 bestselling memoir Sex, Love & Cops: My Five Years as a Young Cop, available on Amazon and Kindle. A candid and emotionally charged account of her early years in law enforcement, the book explores the intersection of ambition, relationships, and survival inside a male-dominated world. The memoir is currently in development as a television series, further showcasing Wendy’s strength in building bold, character-driven IP.
Wendy’s journey to filmmaking is as unique as her stories. Her background as a police officer and later as Melbourne’s #1 realtor instilled in her a deep understanding of human behavior, which she channels into complex, emotionally driven characters. She has trained with leading instructors including Peter Sardi (Melbourne), The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (London), Uta Hagen and Austin Pendleton (New York), Ivana Chubbuck, Bobby Chance, Daisy White, and Katt Shea (Los Angeles).
As an actress, Wendy recently completed a principal role on The Young and the Restless, which she describes as a “master class” opposite Eileen Davidson. She has also performed alongside Academy Award nominees Kristin Scott Thomas and Ralph Fiennes and collaborated with Broadway-credited directors such as Stephan Wolfert.
Dedicated to telling stories that matter, Wendy brings complex, diverse voices to the screen while championing female-driven narratives. Based in Hollywood, she is an active member of Australians in Film, SAG-AFTRA, Women in Film, and Actors’ Equity.
With a talent for gripping storytelling and socially conscious narratives, Wendy Wilkins is a dynamic creative force—building impactful stories across film, television, and digital platforms.
