MediaStorm’s latest release is a film created for the humanitarian organization MAG (Mines Advisory Group). MediaStorm was commissioned by MAG to create a documentary that profiled their work, but more importantly created a strong, compelling case for the problem they are trying to solve and the impact it has on the local population.

Our goal in this project was to take the viewer on a journey through the lives of Laotians personally affected by unexploded bombs, showing the physical and psychological turmoil they go through on a daily basis, creating a deep sense of care and responsibility in the viewer and ultimately a desire to take action. Through character driven narrative we were able to create an intimacy with those affected by the problem and then through that narrative we were able to tell the story of the work MAG does, giving it a sense of validity and urgency.

We used a two person team in the field, utilizing the skills of MediaStorm staff DP and Producer Rick Gershon and freelance DP Nathan Golon.  Rick Gershon also led the post production on the piece with the help of associate producer Lauren Rosenfeld.

Please take a few moments from your day to watch this compelling and powerful documentary.
