MPI filmmaker, Elvira Ibragimova, has been nominated for AMC Networks’ Best Female Creator Award at Starable Fest LA 2023 for her writing and directing of the MPI Original Series We’re Doing Good. The nomination was made recognizing the creativity, vision, and hard work that went into creating this project.
