Documentary Films

Scottish filmmaker John Grierson, credited with coining the term “documentary,” defined the art form as a “creative treatment of actuality.”

Some of the most compelling stories don’t come from the writer’s pen or the artist’s imagination but are discovered in the actual lives of real people.

At Mercy Pictures, we believe in the power of the moving image to share important narratives. Combining the spirit of traditional storytelling with cutting-edge digital and cinematic technology, we create motion pictures to educate, inspire action, and affect change. In doing so, we draw the viewer to the heart of a story.

“JOURNEY TO A MURAL”

“The Journey to a Mural“ is an upcoming film that looks at the unique, intriguing partnership between Warren and Lucia Prosperi; New England-based artists committed to being faithful stewards to the traditions of historical paintings and representational portraiture from before they were born. The film will chronicle their lives for a decade as they seek to illuminate a better understanding of both history and the nature of art.
