How did we start?

Our Parent

MSM Productions, Ltd., is a small, independent multimedia company whose motto is Making the world a better place for the next Deaf generation—and for Deaf people now.” It was founded in 1983 by Matthew S. Moore, a Deaf alumnus of Rochester Institute of Technology.

The Origin of
Redbird Pictures

Redbird Pictures was founded as the video/film-production arm of MSM Productions, Ltd. in 2016. Its goal has been to produce and disseminate high-quality videos, promos, shorts, documentaries, and feature films. 

Redbird Pictures’ first production was a series of promos for NTID Performing Arts Department’s production of The Wonderful World of Oz.

This was followed by a documentary on the 50th anniversary of the Youth Leadership Camp. A series of interviews with YLC alumni continues, as do short films and promos.
