Mirada Studios

A blockbuster creative campaign built for basketball’s biggest moment, brought to life by Mirada under the leadership of ECD Robin Resella, CD Vanessa Marzaroli, and Director Mathew Cullen, alongside a large team of incredibly talented creatives, delivering a full‑scale 360° vision for the ESPN 2026 March Madness Tournament.    From strategy and storytelling to anthem spots, key art, digital, and social. Blending live action, editorial, VFX, and next‑gen workflows, this campaign showed up everywhere the madness lives. Every screen, every bracket, every buzzer‑beater moment.   And the madness is happening right now - tune in on ESPN and catch every moment.  

Madness is coming. And we're only getting warmed up.

Our own Vanessa Marzaroli directed this Feel All the Feelings spot for Tourism Thailand with the iconic Lisa of BLACKPINK—shot in one whirlwind day in Chiang Mai during Loy Kratong. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime collaboration with the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and a project rooted in pride, culture, and celebration. 🇹🇭✨

During the Big Game, this The Mandalorian & Grogu spot made its debut on one of the biggest stages in entertainment. Working with our teammates at Trailer Park Group, Mirada utilized state-of-the-art technology to transform early storyboard sketches into early pre-visualization motion explorations that brought the idea to life for The Walt Disney Company. Proud to be part of a collaboration that turned imagination into something truly cinematic. 

We’re proud to welcome to the Mirada roster Michaela A. Ternasky-Holland, an Emmy-winning, Peabody-nominated director pushing storytelling forward.   With roots in journalism and a career spanning animation, immersive worlds, and experiential storytelling, Michaela brings a rare blend of creative vision, technical fluency, and narrative rigor that sits at the intersection of craft and innovation. Her early work with Time, Sports Illustrated, and People continues to shape a practice grounded in clarity, empathy, and human insight. Michaela has built a body of work that consistently expands how stories are experienced across platforms. She was among the first directors handpicked to create and premiere a short film for the Tribeca Film Festival using OpenAI’s SORA, and her first original animated series surpassed 2.2 million views on YouTube within its first month. Her projects span animation, VR, XR, experiential, and immersive media, always anchored by emotional resonance.   Her work has been curated by leading institutions and festivals worldwide, including Tribeca, SXSW, the Venice International Film Festival, the United Nations, the New York Public Library, and the Museum of the Moving Image. Recognized as one of the 100 Original Voices of XR and named to Blooloop’s 50 Immersive Influencers, Michaela is also a sought-after global speaker at forums such as the United Nations AI for Good Global Summit, and Sundance.   We’re excited to collaborate with Michaela as she joins Mirada and look forward to the bold, deeply human work ahead.

Mirada prides itself on throwing an epic party, and this one kicked off awards season in style. ✨ Proud to produce the Golden Globes’ first-ever Golden Hour influencer event experience alongside Trailer Park Group for CBS, bringing creators together for a true Golden Hour moment.

Untangle the lights, shut down the tabs, and enjoy the glow. Happy Holidays from Mirada!

From creative development through all stages of production, we were thrilled to partner with Netflix to design and create the new Delightful N Production Ident for the final season of Stranger Things. In this case study we break down how the sequence snaps from Hawkins nostalgia to full-on terror in an instant. One moment, we’re in the familiar Hawkins woods; the next, the rift cracks open, pulling the bikes and the audience into a pulsing, crimson void. From the glow, a single form begins to rise: the Netflix N, emerging as if alive. It’s more than a logo, it’s a final descent into the Upside Down. We’re honored to have helped set the tone for this iconic series’ last chapter.

Congratulations to Netflix and The Duffer Brothers on the final season of Stranger Things. We’re thrilled to have partnered with them in designing and crafting the Season 5 opening ident. Ride with us on a journey that begins with the boys' exploration through the forest, rips into the rift between worlds, and lands on the iconic “N” suspended in the quiet below. Case study coming soon!
