INSURREALpictures is a film production company committed to high quality screenplays and films that are culturally relevant, redemptive, and personally meaningful. As demonstrated in their first film The Reliant and the new award winning screenplay of their second film Oberlin, they are devoted to keeping plots unpredictable, their characters unforgettable, the action realistic, and yet always God-honoring. They fearlessly address culturally sensitive subjects, yet are careful to remain winsome and centered on redemptive themes.
