David Mimran
- Producer
David Mimran is the co-chairman and co-founder of Mimran Schur Pictures, an independent production company that produces and promotes exceptional films spanning a range of genres and styles. During a three-decade career in international business, Mimran honed his knack for numbers and impressive instincts that serve him well in the high-risk world of film production.
David Mimran's production career began in the late 2000s, when he teamed up with former Geffen Records president Jordan Schur to launch a production company. In 2009, Mimran Schur Pictures was born.
Mimran Schur Pictures has nearly a dozen titles to its credit. The first was Stone, a complex John Curran-directed psychological thriller starring Robert DeNiro, Milla Jovovich, and Edward Norton. Stone debuted to strong reviews at the 2010 Toronto Film Festival. Later that year, Overture Pictures acquired distribution rights and released the film in the United States.
Mimran Schur Pictures followed up with Henry's Crime, a black comedy starring Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga, and James Caan. Malcolm Venville directed. After a successful showing at the Toronto Film Festival, Moving Pictures acquired and distributed the film.
Henry's Crime was followed shortly by Warrior (2011), a star-studded character study centering on a family of desperate amateur cage fighters. Working alongside Tom Hardy and Jennifer Morrison, Nick Nolte earned an Oscar nod for his gripping portrayal of a former champion lost in the clutches of alcoholism and anomie. Co-financed by Lionsgate, Warrior was Mimran Schur's best-received production to date.
In the years since, David Mimran and his production team have released an eclectic mix of films, some starring household names. Rapture-Palooza (2013), the company's lightest film to date, is a Craig Robinson-Anna Kendrick romp about two teens who find the fortitude to challenge the Antichrist. Pawn Shop Chronicles (2014), a dark comedy starring Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, and the late Paul Walker, is a tableau of alternately compelling and farcical tales, including one man's desperate search for his kidnapped wife and an Elvis impersonator's tragicomic (but mostly comic) story.
Forthcoming Mimran Schur titles include The Kid, a Western starring Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke; and One Nation Under God, a political thriller starring Casper Van Dien and Antonio Sabato Jr.
David Mimran balances his executive production duties at Mimran Schur Pictures with a slew of other obligations. He's on the board of trustees of New York City's Mount Sinai Hospital and a governor of the Peres Center for Peace, which works to achieve peace in the Levant and the wider Middle East. Mimran also sits on the board of Artists for Peace and Justice, a global organization that uses the power of celebrity to advocate for equity and nonviolence. In a non-executive capacity, he devotes substantial time and financial resources to well-known charities including AMFAR, the Make a Wish Foundation, and Save the Children.
