- MPI PRODUCTIONS: MPI ORIGINAL FILMS USE THE POPULAR AND ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM OF VISUAL STORYTELLING TO EDUCATE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT FREEDOM IS AND WHY IT MATTERS. WE REACH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS BY DISTRIBUTING OUR FILMS TO THEATERS AND DIGITAL STREAMING PLATFORMS SUCH AS NETFLIX, APPLE TV, AMAZON PRIME VIDEO, STARZ, HULU, GOOGLE PLAY, TUBI, AND BET+. MPI'S NONPARTISAN APPROACH ATTRACTS THE ATTENTION OF PROMINENT MEDIA OUTLETS, AND OUR FILMS AND FILMMAKERS WIN MAJOR AWARDS AND SCREEN AT TOP-TIER FILM FESTIVALS SUCH AS THE TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL AND SOUTH BY SOUTHWEST. MPI'S IN-HOUSE PRODUCTION TEAM CONTINUALLY WORKS TO DEVELOP MPI'S SLATE OF FILMS-SECURING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY FROM BOOKS AND ARTICLES, ACQUIRING LIFE STORY RIGHTS TO ADAPT INTO SCREENPLAYS, AND HIRING WRITERS TO DEVELOP ORIGINAL SCREENPLAYS. THESE PROJECTS ARE THEN PRODUCED BY MPI FOR WIDE DISTRIBUTION WITH TWO GOALS IN MIND-TO CHANGE MINDS AND INSPIRE ACTION. THE 2024 MPI ORIGINAL MOTHERLAND, WHICH WILL BE RELEASED IN 2025 IS A CASE STUDY FOR HOW OUR INTEGRATED PROGRAMS WORK. THE FILM WAS WRITTEN BY AN MPI FILMMAKER, DIRECTED BY ANOTHER FILMMAKER FROM OUR NETWORK, AND ALLOWED FOR OUR FILMMAKERS TO WORK ON SET IN A VARIETY OF CAPACITIES FROM PRODUCTION ASSISTANT TO DIRECTOR'S SHADOW. MOTHERLAND PREMIERED AT THE OMAHA FILM FESTIVAL AND CONTINUES ITS FESTIVAL RUN WHERE IT IS EARNING ACCOLADES LIKE BEST ACTRESS AT THE VERMONT FILM AND FOLKLORE FESTIVAL. MPI SECURED DISTRIBUTION WITH VERTICAL, AND A LIMITED THEATRICAL RELEASE FOLLOWED BY AVAILABILITY ON STREAMING PLATFORMS IS SCHEDULED FOR SEPTEMBER 2025. MPI ALSO PROVIDES OTHER NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS COMPLIMENTARY ACCESS TO ITS FILM LIBRARY AND ENCOURAGES THEM TO USE THEIR FILMS AS A TOOL TO EDUCATE THEIR LOCAL COMMUNITIES ABOUT ISSUES RELATED TO HUMAN FREEDOM AND INSPIRE THEM TO TAKE ACTION. MPI'S CURRENT PRODUCTION SLATE INCLUDES EIGHTEEN ACTIVE FILM PROJECTS.Expenses $1,796,666 · revenue $969,068
