WHAT is MINDFUL FILMS?

Born and bred in the heart of Brooklyn, NY by Emmy-award winning TV producer/director Elyse Neiman Seiter and fueled by the fiscal sponsorship of Fractured Atlas, Mindful Films is on a mission. We're not just making movies; we're shifting perspectives and building community around grief, death and dying, end-of-life, and waking up to our own true wisdom.

We produce and create conscious-based content that dives into the profound moments of the human experience. We believe that in the darkest corners of crisis lies a beacon of truth waiting to light our paths, and that waking up is the key to living a life with joy. Whether documenting folks/folx who are facing a diagnosis, coping with loss, confronting mortality, or transforming the funeral industry, we believe that these personal stories are testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

We've witnessed firsthand the transformative power of documenting and sharing these stories, where our subjects feel seen, heard, and validated. They're not just films; they're narrative medicine. We want to create a world where filmmaking can bring dignity into the end-of-life space and learn to wake up together by capturing human stories, while equipping the next generation of storytellers with the tools to mindfully capture their own stories of awakening.

We're laying the groundwork for a movement, and our vision extends far beyond the screen. We want to ignite conversations, spark change, inspire action, educate other filmmakers, and crack open the dialogue around death, dying, and end-of-life. From community engagement to feature films, from mindful filmmaking workshops to TV series, we hope to be a pioneer in bringing death and dying into the mainstream so that we can all wake up to our beautiful, precious lives.

Join us in this cinematic revolution.
