🌟 About Us

My name is Parisa Aminolahi. I am an award-winning filmmaker and photographer with a background in theatre, animation, and documentary filmmaking; I hold a BA in Theatre Stage Design, a Master’s in Animation, and a Master’s in Documentary Filmmaking. Alongside my professional work, I have spent the past few years teaching children and young people in various art disciplines, from elementary school to college level.

As a mother of two, I see every day how mobile phones and screens shape our world, often in ways that feel negative or distracting. Instead of fighting against technology, I decided to turn it into something positive: a tool for creativity, storytelling, and connection.

That’s how Mini Movie Makers Club was born. Here, children don’t come to watch films, they come to create them from scratch. They imagine stories, write scripts, act, direct, film, and edit together as a team. At the end, they proudly celebrate their work at a little premiere with family. This hands-on process not only gives them the joy of collaboration and creation, but also helps them appreciate films differently at home, because they now understand how much imagination and teamwork goes into making one.

At the same time, we show kids that mobiles and tablets can be used for a better purpose: not just for endless scrolling, but as a way to capture ideas, express themselves, and work together creatively. It’s a “two-in-one” learning journey:
• Making films with joy and imagination.
• Learning media literacy, turning phones from a distraction into a tool for creativity.

Through Mini Movie Makers Club, I hope to give children the excitement of storytelling, the confidence to perform and create, and the joy of watching their own ideas come to life on screen. 

🔒 Privacy matters: We take children’s privacy very seriously. You can read our full Privacy & Data Retention Policy for details on how films and personal data are handled.

Mini Movie Makers Club is a creative branch of Distracted Productions, a small filmmaking and photography business I founded a few years ago. If you see us represented under the name Distracted Productions, that’s us too; the club grew out of the same passion and creative vision. ❤️
