East Bay Pictures International is committed to making motion pictures that inspire reflection, compassion and imagination. Our culture is in desperate need of images and ideas that will help us see ourselves in new ways: how we truly are, and how we wish to be. It is the responsibility of the artist to articulate these collective dreams, to create visions that help us face our fears, so that we may see beyond the crises of our time, to possibility.
