"I’m tremendously proud to share this film. So much love went into the entire process and I couldn’t be more grateful for such an inspiring creative team."
- Cassandra Clare
"Reuniting with the team to make the climax of this film (our first since Covid) was a beautiful and challenging experience - my hope is that viewers will feel the same after watching it, so I'm excited to finally share it."
- Mike Powell
In honor of the spookiest of seasons, we thought we'd give you all a little sneak peek at our latest creation, THE CUSTODIAN!

We'll be posting more updates soon, but in the meantime, enjoy this poster!
As always, many thanks to Jessica Siegert for her tireless behind-the-scenes work both on and off set.
Halloween is a special holiday for filmmaking, and it's often provided a creative jolt here at Mirandum over the years. This year that inspiration arrives in two different flavors.
We are excited to present an experimental short film that Mike directed and Jacob Schwartz shot in a previous October, an adaptation of a quietly reflective, Halloween-themed poem by the NY-based writer Jess Linnett (https://www.jessicalinnett.com/new-gallery/). First in a planned series, now showing: Little Ghosts - vimeo.com/370168034
We're also excited to announce that we just wrapped principal photography this week on an ambitious Halloween short film of the fun and scary variety. Assembling a dynamite cast from across the country and bringing in the Hollywood blockbuster VFX team at Digicore, this film - directed by Colin J. Mason, lensed by Jacqui Ris- was an absolute blast to shoot and we can't wait to share it.
We love it when our work connects with people, particularly those who are so passionate about making the world a better place!

Hey guys! The film we made for this year's 48 Hour Film Festival is screening this Saturday, June 1, at 7:30pm at the AFI Silver in Silver Spring, MD. Mike Powell, one of the film's writers, will be there to take questions and to hang out!
Finished an insane 3 days of 48 Hour Film screenings from around the world, and now we're treated to a day of seminars about how to make better films and get them distributed. We're incredibly excited about how to bring all this newfound knowledge home and put it to work! 48 Hour Film Project
Look where we are! Filmapalooza 2019!!
Filmapalooza is the finale festival for the 48 Hour Film Project in which the winning films from cities worldwide (150 cities as of 2018) are screened the following year and compete with each other for awards. It has existed since 2003. Filmapalooza is hosted by a different city each year and this year it's in Orlando, Florida.
Our 48-hour film 'Black Box' was a huge success and won us the "Best Film" award (among others) for Washington, D.C., and has placed us among the 150 cities that compete worldwide for elite status in this festival (and the opportunity to go to Cannes).
We're all happy to be here and hopeful that the awards continue rolling in (of course). This is such a big, big deal for us! Sad that the rest of the crew on set couldn't make it, but you all are in our thoughts and the film wouldn't be what it is without each and every one of you!
We'll keep you updated!
2018 was an eventful year for our company. We experienced a lot of growth, a lot of new opportunities, and growing pains. But as a result, our collection of work is far more diverse, exciting, weird, colorful and just plain cool than it ever has been before. We hope you enjoy this little taste of just a few of the things we did in 2018. https://vimeo.com/308693127
From the wide blue skies to the concert stage to the production set, Mirandum Pictures shot, directed or produced a dizzying array of projects this past year. Working…
Just in time for Christmas, Black Box is featured as a Daily Short Pick on FilmShortage.com and our Director, Colin J. Mason, does nothing short of gifting his appreciation to every person responsible for our film's tremendous success.
Have a look here:
https://filmshortage.com/dailyshortpicks/black-box/
“Black Box” tells the story of a girl who wakes up in a derelict warehouse with no memory of who she is or what she needs to be doing, with only a series of written instructions and a ticking timer as her guide.
RESULTS ARE IN:
The judges have deliberated on the selection of the 2018 Washington DC 48 Hour Film Project (Horror and Sci-Fi) winners. Awards were determined for 30 categories, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Writing, Acting Awards and more. The award holder for Best Film will go on to represent Washington, DC at Filmapalooza 2019 and vie for Best 48HFP Film of 2018.
💪And WE GOT IT!!!💪
Guys, we are so stoked to announce six awards this year, all of which (in our humble opinions) are the ones that make us stand out among the competition- and I guess the judges agree.
Here's the rundown:
*Best Film (Heyo, Mirandum)
*Best Directing (Colin J. Mason)
*Best Cinematography (Jacob Schwartz)
*Best Art Direction/Production Design (Jessica Siegert, Eric Nielson, Benjamin Schwartz)
*Best Special Effects/Visual Effects (Anthony Pilon/Jacob Schwartz)
*Best Monster (Anthony Pilon)
Not without the passion and diligent effort of our entire crew, volunteers, actor(s), family, friends, and everything in between, would this have been possible. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to each and every person who had a hand in us finally, after six different 48 Hour Projects, getting a BEST FILM. Those specifically not mentioned: Yasha Langer, Paris Kyle, Mike Powell, and Shelton Hall. Without all of you, this wouldn't be a possibility!
We always joke that we're a bit crazy for taking this project on. But, you know what? I think it really presses us to pull out our best talents, to think sharply, and to work together more efficiently. Not only does this make for a great 48 Hour film, but also really hones us in to renewed focus for future projects.
Aside from that, crazy keeps things interesting, am I right?
See you at the next 48, film lovers, and we're on our way to Filmapalooza in March!

Hey, all! If you're interested in seeing some of our behind the scenes footage showing how we shot the "crazy dance" scenes in Goldvein's "The Hollows", have a look! Noah Moore is dancing to a version of the song that has been slowed to twice as slow, and he's being recorded at 12 frames per second (rather than the usual 24). The result? Crazy fast dancing that syncs perfectly to the normal version of the song. Behind the scenes footage shot by: Jessica Siegert Photography
