Our Story

In 1999 Karen Bernstein, former Series Producer at WNET's American Masters, and Ellen Spiro, an intrepid independent filmmaker, started Mobilus Media to create groundbreaking documentaries. Between them they have received an Emmy Award, a Grammy Award, a Guggenheim Fellowship, two Rockefeller Fellowships, a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship and three ITVS funding contracts. Their works have shown from New York City to Timbuktu, in festivals from Sundance to Berlin and on television worldwide-- on PBS, HBO, CH4 and BBC (UK), CBC (Canada), NHK (Japan) and elsewhere. Mobilus has offices in New York City and Austin, Texas but will go anywhere on the planet for a compelling project.

Recent Projects include ATOMIC ED & the BLACK HOLE (HBO), THE WRESTLING PARTY (HBO), ROAM SWEET HOME (PBS), ARE THE KIDS ALRIGHT? (PBS) and TROOP 1500 (PBS) .
