Mission

Mirabel Pictures mission is to create artistically bold art and media projects that explore the critical issues of our time. We believe in the power of art and media to create positive social and economic change in the world. From war and disease, to the complex dimensions that surround aging and death, our work is unified by a compassionate humanism. Mirabel Pictures is deeply committed to working with vulnerable communities: both those who are economically disadvantaged and whose stories are underrepresented. With each of our projects, we work to cultivate community engagement that inspires and transforms audiences into socially engaged citizens.

Heaven Through the Backdoor Project description: Part myth, part documentary, Heaven Through the Backdoor is a multi-platform documentary that explores identity and spirituality through the unconventional friendship of Anna and Yo, two kindred spirits born 49 years apart. The film is a testament to the enduring power of friendship and what we learn from each other in life and after death. In 2023 production on this film was the main focus of our creative work. We are currently in Post-Production and plan to premiere the project in 2025. The project received support from Tribeca Film Institute, Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Creative Work Fund, Headlands Center for the Arts among others. In 2021 we hosted multiple in person open studio events at our studio at the Noonan building where we showed our work in progress media and sculptural installation work.

Our support provides a safe space to work, access to state of the art equipment, educational programming and professional development. In 2016, we expanded our reach in the West African subregion by launching The WeOwnTV Filmmaker Fellowship, a film fund and professional development program supporting the production of independent documentaries directed by West African filmmakers. We also began a collaborative producing initiative that focuses on creating opportunities for filmmakers from underrepresented communities and are partnered with both US-based and international teams on a small collection of impressive projects.

WeOwnTV / WeSurvive / Filmmaker Fellowship Project description: In 2023 we continued educational programming together with the filmmakers of the WeOwnTV Freetown Media Centre while also premiering a set of exciting projects we co-produced. The New Boats, premiered in festivals worldwide and was broadcast onARTE. The film is an investigative documentary that presents an eye-opening look at the impact of International Industrialized fishing in West African waters and it's disastrous effect on local communities. We also delivered our complete archive for WeSurvive: Stories of the Ebola Outbreak, a web-based oral history database that allows users to access a collection of video testimonials from Ebola survivors, their families, and other community members. The database is set to launched in April 2023 with our partner Emory University who will host and preserve the archive in perpetuity. A central goal of the Project is to ensure West Africans contribute directly & significantly to the historical record of this global health crisis.
