Hi, I’m Mia.
I’m a Director, Producer, and Cinematographer adopted from China, raised in Michigan, and based in Los Angeles.
Here’s what I’m up to now:
My short documentary film, A Good Death (DOC NYC), will screen at the St. Louis International Film Festival on November 8 at 1:00PM, and I’d love to see you there! Subscribe to our mailing list to stay up to date.
The other two documentary shorts I directed while in my grad school program – Mr. Ramen and Are We Breaking Up? – are currently in the film festival god’s hands. Fingers crossed!
Say hello: mia@missinginactionproductions.com

Mia Hagerty is a filmmaker adopted from China and raised in Michigan. A former pragmatist, she studied math in college only to realize that being pragmatic is overrated.
Her most recent short film, A Good Death (DOC NYC), was longlisted for a BAFTA Student Award. Her work has also screened at the American Cinematheque, Los Angeles’ iconic Chinese Theatre, and at a ramen shop. She holds an MFA from the University of Southern California and is based in Los Angeles.
Sometimes tending toward a nihilistic view on life, Mia is ultimately an optimist who believes that a great story really can change the world – by changing us first.
