One studio. One film per soul. Long-form cultural documentaries that go inside a nation's music — and come back changed.
MySoul Films makes feature documentaries about the soul of a culture, found through its music. Not travel content — long-form journeys made from inside the rhythm: drumming, dancing, listening, asking what a nation's music knows about sorrow and joy.
Each film lives on its own website while in production, then becomes a permanent archive. Together they form one growing body of work.
Thirty-eight years after living in Salvador da Bahia as a young percussionist, Craig Miller returns to Brazil. 83 days across Rio, São Paulo, Salvador, the Northeast and Cachoeira — culminating in the Festa da Boa Morte, the 200-year-old procession of the Sisterhood of the Good Death.
A musical odyssey to the soul of a nation. Filmed over two eventful concerts in Havana with many of Cuba's finest musicians — a 61-minute journey with a stunning live soundtrack, made at the moment of Fidel Castro's death.

Craig Miller is an Australian documentary filmmaker, percussionist and singer based in Melbourne. He made his first feature, Cuba My Soul, at age 62 with no prior filmmaking experience; it screened at seven international festivals, won Best Documentary in Music, and streams worldwide on Amazon Prime.
His films begin where his own life intersects a culture — as a percussionist in Havana, as a young student of master Bira Reis in the Pelourinho of 1987 — and follow that thread until it becomes the story of a people.
