About

From dreaming big to making
bold films.

Hey, I am Ilona Six,

My journey began at 21, I quit university and launched my film career — and my first business.

No film school degree. No network. No shortcuts.

Just a relentless drive and a vision to create something unforgettable.

Fast forward 20+ years:
I’ve produced a wide range of independent films — from bold indie projects to internationally distributed features.

One of my most talked-about productions?
The Human Centipede Trilogy.
It turned a bold and controversial idea into a global cult classic hit.
It was sold in over 35 countries, generated millions in revenue, and became a true pop culture phenomenon — referenced in South Park, Conan O’Brien, The MTV Awards, Family Guy, and more.

But none of that happened by accident.

In the early years, I faced more rejection than I could count.
Doors slammed. People said, “You’ll never pull this off.”

I didn’t listen.

Instead, I learned to think like an entrepreneur.
I mastered how to bridge creativity and business — and built a system to turn bold ideas into real, successful films.

Today, I’m the co-founder of Six Entertainment Company, and the founder of Six Side Up and The Film Business Club:
A global community where I teach independent filmmakers how to master the business side of filmmaking through my proven 7-step framework. Funding. Producing. Marketing. Sales. Pitching. Distribution.
The essential business skills most filmmakers never learn — but absolutely need.

Because success in film isn’t just about talent.
It’s about strategy, execution, and making bold moves that set you apart.

Everything I do is built on one belief:
You don’t need permission. You need a plan.

And that’s exactly what I’ll help you build.

XO, Ilona Six
