At Mirabel Pictures, we produce films that are designed to make a difference.

With all of our projects we work to cultivate deep community engagement that inspires, educates and transforms audiences into socially engaged citizens. Our films address a diverse array of issues and we have a customized approach to each outreach campaign. We consider the unique audiences, information, educational strategy for each program we design.

“Over the past ten years since we started sharing the Genius of Marian, we’ve been truly humbled by the love and support from our audience. My mother was a gifted social worker who devoted her life to helping others.  I can feel her pride in what we created together out of this this difficult time, , and I’m excited for this new chapter. That is what I am thinking about now, about continuing her legacy— a legacy of caring” Director, Banker White

Since The Genius of Marian was broadcast on POV (PBS) in 2014, we have worked diligently to establish partnerships and create educational resources to help maximize the film’s impact. We have also organized more than 300 community screenings of The Genius of Marian, even sharing the film on Capitol Hill and we are so proud to now be able to offer the film a free public art work for the people who need it most.

We are deeply committed to media education. In 2009 we co-founded the WeOwnTV Freetown Media Centre together with local Sierra Leonean filmmakers Arthur Pratt and Lansana Mansaray. The media center is an important educational and creative hub in the heart of the capital city in Sierra Leone. We have  expanded our reach by launching the WeOwnTV Filmmaker Fellowship: a film fund and professional development program supporting the production of independent documentaries directed by West African filmmakers. The program is open to filmmaker working in Ghana, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone.
