Smokin' Mirrors

In a world where behemoth corporations dominate every major form of media distribution, we sometimes think we’re crazy for even attempting to make independent films. But considering that this is all we know how to do -- unqualified for any other job, unskilled at any other form of labor -- we have accepted this as our challenge in life. Through our projects and the work of like-minded artists, we are hoping to wake up our comatose society and transform it into one that is freethinking and harmonious. Yet, we continue to live by the words of our patron saint, Cesar Chavez, who once said something like, “Work your ass off, and don’t expect anything!”

Making the music video

When seeking bands to work with on music videos, our business friends have told us to say this about ourselves: “To underground musical artists, Smokin’ Mirrors is the affordable choice for film and digital video production services that captures the artists’ personalities and garners them attention because Smokin’ Mirrors itself was founded as an artist collective and maintains a core philosophy of bringing to the public works of independent artists.”

We believe in the strength and vision of independent artists. If music is the only true art form, we compliment that with our work as best we can. So there you go.

A little background on Smokin’ Mirrors

Smokin' Mirrors started out as an artist collective in a loft in Downtown LA in 1997. We have since transformed into a film production collective, specializing in music videos, independent features and documentaries.
