Cinemagical Media is a women of color-led creative agency specializing in filmmaking, creative strategy and impact producing. We partner with visionary companies, organizations, cultural leaders and artists to create films, workshops and campaigns that uplift marginalized voices, spark cultural transformation and reimagine liberation.

We blend cinematic storytelling with movement building—producing work that resonates emotionally and sparks reflection, action and collective healing. Our storytelling is intersectional feminist, BIPOC-centered and equity driven on screen and behind the scenes. We root our work in justice, collaboration and collective care.

As Audre Lorde said, “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” At Cinemagical Media, we’re building new tools—and new houses—rooted in belonging, brave storytelling and love.

Let’s make media that matters—art that reflects the world as it is, and the world we know is possible.

TESTIMONIALS

I worked with Cinemagical Media and Kirthi to create a series fo videos highlighting key ideas from my work. I found Kirthi to be incredibly thorough, patient, supportive and flexible throughout the process. She also brought a beautiful artistic vision and an authentic passion for the subject matter. I highly recommend working with Cinemagical Media.  

Tara Sophia Mohr, Playing Big Founder and Author

Kirthi was an absolute pleasure to work with. She has strong technical skills, communicates very clearly, and has incredibly work ethic. But what really made our project with her shine, were her visionary, artistic, and creative capacities. If you’re looking for someone who gets your project at all levels, I’d highly recommend working with Kirthi and Cinemagical Media. 

Vincent Horn, co-founder of Buddhist Geeks

Kirthi expresses a genuine passion for storytelling and social change, and has the expertise and commitment to create compelling multimedia that inspires viewers. Her broad experience makes her a highly competent, comprehensive producer, capable of developing meaningful projects and bringing them all the way to completion. For example, for Not In Our Town’s “Who Cares? I do! Here’s Why” campaign pitch video, she: coordinated all pre-production, including staffing and tech resources; created a safe, inviting atmosphere for guests to share with her their personal stories about why they stand up to hate and intolerance; produced the final video that sparked an active online conversation about why it is important to take a stand. The strength of her work is consistently validated by contemporary standards: extensive online comments; impressive views on YouTube; and generous re-tweets.

Libby McInerny, Project Management & Outreach Consultant

You won’t find a more dedicated and passionate producer …[Kirthi] finds meaning in all that she does. Kirthi is a treasure!

Mindy Aronoff, Director, Training & Resources at Bay Area Video Coalition

 I will never forget Kirthi’s sparkling eyes as she was interviewing me for a videoreportage on our Sands of Silence/ SOS_SLAVES transmedia project, which she produced/directed while it was being doctored at BAVC Producers Institute. I saw first-hand Kirthi’s ‘catalyst’ quality at work when she interviewed me. Her empathy and enthusiasm took me to that space where you are able to speak from a place beyond your ego, a deed that only good interviewers can elicit from their subjects. Her deep understanding of the challenges of new media technology along with her resourceful creativity resulted in a videoreportage that has gone around the world and has received thousands of hits and great reviews at the many sites where it has been shared and embedded. It was a pleasure to work with Kirthi and I look forward to have her add her visionary touch to my projects in the near future
