WHO WE ARE
At RARi Media, how we create stories is just as important as the stories we tell. Great storytelling begins with a strong foundation. These are the values that define who we are and how we move.
Our Values:
IMPACT & GIVING BACK – We uplift communities and drive meaningful impact—on set, in our industry, and around the world—through philanthropy, creative generosity, and an unwavering commitment to equity. Rooted in purpose, our work uses art to give back, spark change, and move culture forward.
DIVERSITY - We celebrate unique voices and inclusive storytelling that reflects the richness of global perspectives. By welcoming diverse audiences, collaborations, and viewpoints, we foster meaningful connection and authentic representation in front of and behind the camera.
INNOVATION - We embrace new ideas, technologies, and storytelling methods to redefine the cinematic experience—while championing sustainability. By integrating environmentally conscious practices and forward-thinking solutions, we ensure our creative evolution supports a healthier planet.
CREATIVITY - We push artistic boundaries with bold, original storytelling that inspires and challenges audiences worldwide. Grounded in a deep respect for the history of classical cinema and the landscape we inherit, we look to the future—crafting fresh, innovative work guided by timeless cinematic principles.
INTEGRITY & ACCOUNTABILITY – We uphold excellence through integrity, professionalism, and accountability in all we do. With respect for one another and a foundation of kindness, we foster a culture where responsibility and compassion go hand in hand.
PREVIOUS FILMS
ReelMavens was just the beginning.
Years ago, our mission was to champion female participation in film—both in front of and behind the camera. Under that banner, we proudly created three original films. But as our vision expanded, so did our purpose.
Today, we champion inclusive storytelling and collaborative artistry that reflects the world as it truly is—diverse, dynamic, and full of possibility.
