OUR STORY
PATH
An Origin Story
From an early fascination with "Back to the Future," JR Mitchell was captivated not by the escapades of Marty McFly, but by the allure of storytelling. This fascination wasn't merely about consuming tales but about creating worlds. A youthful Mitchell quickly transitioned from an awestruck viewer to an eager creator, directing camcorder films with neighborhood friends, setting the foundational stones of what would become a distinguished filmmaking journey. His early foray into the world of television as an intern from ages 15 to 18 provided him with a practical understanding of the craft, further solidified by his academic pursuits in film at SMU.
And A Glimpse at the Future
This foundational period in Mitchell's career was a precursor to his impactful tenure in Hollywood, where he contributed to well-known network shows like "Big Brother," "Fear Factor," and "The Mole." Over three decades, Mitchell's expansive portfolio has grown to include feature films, live and scripted shows, and an impressive array of over 2,000 commercials and brand films. His work on "Satan & Adam," an acclaimed documentary that earned a spot on the Academy Award shortlist and premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival, cemented this current period of his career. His roles as Founder of Osobarra Films and Chief Creative at JoySauce, mark the current chapter of his journey. Osobarra Films emerges as the culmination of Mitchell’s dreams, a place where his team and he are dedicated to crafting narratives that capture the essence of the human spirit, aiming to entertain, educate, and inspire.
