Deborah and Michaiah Smoots are a sister filmmaking duo driven by a deep passion for storytelling, community, and creativity. As co-directors, writers, producers, cinematographers, and musical composers, they blend their artistic gifts of music, writing, and visual storytelling into films and content that move hearts, emotions, and ignite hope.
Raised in a military family, their upbringing gave them the gift of travel and a wide lens on the beauty and diversity of the world. That global perspective taught them an essential truth: sometimes the most powerful stories are found right in front of you.
Together, Deborah and Michaiah create films that go beyond entertainment. Their work is rooted in encouragement, healing, and calling out the gold in people’s everyday lives. Whether composing a soundtrack, writing dialogue, or capturing a shot behind the camera, they carry one purpose: to reflect light, awaken purpose, and remind others of the beauty that still exists within them and around them.
