Om Films is an American film production company founded by executive producer Niraj Bhatia and producer/screenwriter Daniel Burks in 2006. Om concentrates on feature films, but also produces shorts, documentaries, and web series.

Overview

Since its inception, Om has built a strong track record of producing quality, engaging films including the Producers Guild of America award-winning documentary Beats, Rhymes, & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest;[1] the embarrassingly funny Mortified Nation!;[2] and Caucus,[3] a unique, behind-the-scenes look into the 2012 GOP caucus in Iowa.
