ABOUT HARBINGER MEDIA INC
Harbinger.Media.Inc is a decentralized media production network with operatives worldwide with offices in New York, Baghdad, Shanghai and Los Angeles.
We have excelled at uncovering truly unique stories, professionally produced with digital equipment, combining the director's vision with our in-house post production expertise. Harbinger has established itself as a hip, socially conscious international media think tank, leveraging local access and culture for international campaigns and brands. We primarily produce documentary content in a wide variety of formats, from features, mini-docs, television series, commercials and short news packages.
UPDATES
Harbinger's first feature documentary, "The Dreams of Sparrows", was a critically acclaimed international success. The first feature doc out of Iraq, post-Saddam, "Dreams" captures Iraqi filmmaker Hayder Daffar's enigmatic and ultimately tragic vision of a crumbling reality. One of our Iraqi filmmakers, Ali Taleb, was accepted into the Tribeca Film Festival for his short "Lost Girl". Producer Kianne Sadeq is currently mid-production on a new Iraqi feature, "Stringers".
Our current focus in the US is a slate of five indie features under the umbrella "Old School: taking it back to the 90's" for which we are currently reviewing screenplays and raising capital. We are continuing production and post-production on our car rally / alternative auto racing series. In China, we are producing commercials and developing a narrative indie-feature to be shot in the Summer of 2008. We will be producing an 8 part series Beijing around the Olympics and related madness. In Baghdad, we are expanding our program of media empowerment and promoting freedom of speech with the help of a Soros Foundation grant.
MISSION
Harbinger’s mission is to promote media not only as a means for artistic expression but also as a tool for political and social change. We strive to find the right balance between developing consistently innovative, controversial and important content and placing that content within a marketable and profitable package. The Harbinger ideal is simply the pursuit of Truth. The Harbinger methodology is the strategic use of rhetoric within a mass independent media network, comprised of a worldwide collective of like-minded media makers working together in an online office. |
