Our queerness is our advantage. Resilience and adaptability inform not only how we create but how we operate. In an unpredictable industry, we offer bold storytelling grounded in reliability, craft, and industry fluency. Our audience award-winning track record shows that stories rooted in truth travel—and we are committed to delivering them with excellence.

WHAT WE DO…

  • DEVELOPMENT & COPRODUCTION

    Our team seeks visionary scripts and creators whose work expands the cultural and cinematic landscape. We specialize in co-development and co-producing with partners across the U.S. Hispanic/Latinx ecosystem, its diaspora, and Latin America. We support projects from early script refinement to packaging and creative producing.

    Our approach is artisanal, collaborative, and committed to storytelling that travels.

  • PRODUCTION SERVICES

    At Filmes Casa, we collaborate with artists and directors to take projects from concept to completion. As creative and experienced line producers, we translate artistic vision into the financial, logistical, and managerial systems needed to make it real.

    Our production services emphasize inclusive teamwork and precise planning. We oversee budgeting, scheduling, locations, crew, vendors, and on-set operations across features, shorts, documentaries, and music videos.

  • CONSULTING & WORKSHOPS

    More than a workplace, Filmes Casa is a dynamic, creative hub with formative programs, networking labs, and workshops. We offer expert advice ranging from screenwriting to local film production.

    We also host educational internships on a rolling basis for independent storytellers, creative marketers and emerging producers. Get in touch!
