Who We Are
Off Center Media is a documentary production company founded by sisters Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler.

In 1999, the Kunstlers produced Tulia, Texas: Scenes from the Drug War, a short video documentary that exposed a racist drug sting that led to the incarceration of over 10% of the African American community of a small Texas town. The video inspired national media coverage of the drug sting and its aftermath, led to state and federal investigations of the drug sting, helped the defendants secure new representation, influenced the passage of several bills in the Texas Senate, and prompted the federal indictment of the undercover narcotics officer.

The success of this documentary as a tool for organizing, advocacy, and ultimately, justice, inspired Emily and Sarah to form Off Center Media. Off Center exposes injustice through the creation and circulation of media. We are committed to investigating and sharing stories of racism and oppression in the hope that we can help effect a country and a world where there really is equal justice for all.
what we do
Off Center produces low-cost videos for non-profit organizations and law firms for use as part of comprehensive advocacy efforts and education campaigns.

Off Center has produced video for a wide range of uses, including b-roll for news broadcasts, video new releases, sentencing and mitigation videos, advocacy videos for incarcerated persons, public service announcements, and fully-produced video documentaries.

Our videos have been broadcast on public access and satellite television, played in festivals across the country, streamed on the internet as part of advocacy campaigns, and distributed on a grassroots level for community education and organizing.

Off Center also produces its own independent documentaries. Currently, Off Center is producing The Road to Justice, a documentary about Ryan Matthews, an African American man who was arrested at age 17 and sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit, and exonerated 7 years later.
