Karmic Release Ltd. is an American film production company founded by actor Nathan Purdee and producer Roberta Morris Purdee. Karmic Release films have received Emmy, Peabody, duPont-Columbia and Cine Golden Eagle awards, as well as a place on the Academy Award short list.
History[edit]
In the early 1990s Roberta Morris Purdee began producing films for Academy Award winning actor/director Lee Grant. Karmic Release began as a joint venture between Morris Purdee and husband, actor Nathan Purdee[1][2] and has produced films, television specials, and new media for studios like HBO, Lifetime (TV network), PBS, Sesame Workshop, and Disney. Notable projects include the independent musical documentary Wallowitch & Ross: This Moment which was shortlisted for the Academy Award,[3][4] the Kirk Douglas/Michael Douglas documentary A Father...A Son...Once Upon a Time in Hollywood[5], Praying with Lior, [6] and the multi-Emmy and Peabody winning non-fiction Iraq War film Baghdad ER.[7][8] In 2019 Fast Company named their Sesame Workshop special Talk, Listen, Connect one of the most socially impactful productions in Sesame Street history.[9]
Present[edit]
Recently Karmic Release has primarily produced independent films, supporting the careers of young directors like Jonathan Caouette and his duo of groundbreaking Tarnation films, and Taylor A. Purdee.[10][11] Working closely with her son, Roberta and Taylor Purdee have produced two films together for Karmic Release, the documentary This is Honduras,[12] and the musical film Killian & the Comeback Kids starring both Taylor and Nathan Purdee.[13][14][15] In addition to developing new films the company also works to preserve and support older works, notably the documentary films of Lee Grant and the music of John Wallowitch.[16][17]
