| FORM 990, PART III, LINE 4A, PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS: | 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, 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 AND VIDEOS-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 2022 MPI ORIGINAL FILM PINBALL IS A CASE STUDY FOR HOW OUR INTEGRATED PROGRAMS WORK. THE FILM WAS WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY MPI FILMMAKERS WHO ARE A PART OF MPI'S RISING FILMMAKER PROGRAM. PINBALL PREMIERED AT THE HAMPTONS INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL AND SCREENED AT OVER A DOZEN OTHER FILM FESTIVALS WINNING SEVERAL AWARDS SUCH AS BEST NARRATIVE FEATURE. IT WAS RELEASED IN MARCH 2023 IN THEATERS AND TO MORE THAN 100 MILLION HOMES THROUGH ON-DEMAND STREAMING PLATFORMS. 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 FOURTEEN ACTIVE FILM PROJECTS. |
