Morning Bird Pictures Inc. (formerly Sepasi Films, est. 2003) is a production company dedicated to creating films, television, and new media projects that focus on the contemporary Middle East and diaspora.
Our last narrative short, Transit Game (2014), screened in 50+ international festivals winning awards in Berlin, Florence and San Francisco. The film also took home the Golden Sheaf Award for 'Best Drama' at the Yorkton Film Festival in Canada. In 2006, we produced our first feature-length documentary, Khaneh Ma: These Places We Call Home, which screened in international festivals and universities and was theatrically released at the NFB cinema in Montreal. The film was shot in Iran, Germany and Canada and was financed by the Canada Council of the Arts among other Canadian funding agencies. Our latest projects include two interactive web documentaries that focus on experiences of exile and migration through a female lens. My Life in Limbo was financed by the Canada Council for the Arts and Migrant Mothers of Syria was financed by the Bell Fund and produced in collaboration with Emmy award-winning new media company, Stitch Media. Our projects in development include the narrative features, Valley of Exile, which received development and production support from The Canada Council for the Arts, the Ontario Arts Council, and the Toronto Arts Council and was selected for Film Independent’s 2017-2018 Screenwriting & Directing Labs, and Places in Between, written and directed by MBP Founder/Creative Director Anna Fahr and produced by Lauren Grant (Clique Pictures).
