A Standing Ovation for Our Work on BirthRight: Born Free | Live Free!

We are proud to share the success of the very first screening of BirthRight: Born Free | Live Free — a project produced, directed, filmed, and edited right here at Luminance Pictures.

The evening was a true celebration of independent filmmaking. With over 80 guests in attendance, the film received a standing ovation and sparked engaged, thoughtful discussion from viewers across a wide spectrum of backgrounds. One of the most rewarding aspects was watching how the story connected with people on both a human and civic level — a testament to the power of visual storytelling when it’s done with purpose and care.

What makes this moment even more special is that BirthRight has already earned critical recognition, taking home a Telly Award for Best Documentary in the Feature Film and Shorts category. It's an honor that highlights the quality and commitment behind every stage of the production process — from development through post.

Our team poured heart, precision, and countless hours into crafting this film — and to see it land with such impact is deeply rewarding.

Next stop: North Hollywood, where the official premiere is just around the corner.

Congratulations to everyone involved — from our cinematographers to our editors — for helping to bring this powerful and timely story to life.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes insights and future screenings.We’re just getting started.
