⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fast, Creative & Cost-Effective Production — Built for Visionaries

We turn bold ideas into cinematic originals. Whether you're building a new IP or need a pitch-ready pilot, we deliver stunning results, fast.

A Global Team, A European Creative Base

Our directors and producers — Frank Rod and Yara Mirek — currently operate from Madrid, one of the world's most culturally connected production hubs. But our track record is international by design.

A Multicultural Cast Pool — Madrid is one of the few cities in the world where you can cast native English speakers, native Spanish speakers, Latin American actors, European talent, and multilingual performers in a single production window. That flexibility is a direct advantage when you're building IP for global audiences.

International Production Experience — Our team has produced across Europe, Turkey, and Latin America, with credits on Prime Video, Apple TV, and Netflix originals. We know how to mobilize a crew in unfamiliar territories because we've done it repeatedly.

A Strategic Hub Between Markets — Madrid sits between North America, Latin America, Europe, and North Africa — geographically and culturally. Our team understands how stories translate across those markets, which is critical when you're building an IP meant to travel.

Flexible Production Locations — Madrid is our current creative base, not a limitation. We produce wherever the story lives best. Locations are chosen for the project, not the postcode.


Series That Hooked Audiences

What We Produce (Three Formats)

🎬 Live Action — $150K–$500K+ per season

Real actors, real sets, cinematic production. Our team has credits on Prime Video, Apple TV, Netflix (The Swimmers, Last Call for Istanbul), and global campaigns including CLEAR with Erling Haaland and FINISH (Super Bowl 2024).

🎭 Hybrid Series (Live Action + AI) — $80K–$250K per season

Real actors and practical sets, enhanced with AI for environments, VFX, and scale. Our signature approach — emotional authenticity of human performance with visuals that pure live action can't afford at this budget range.

🤖 AI-Generated Series — $50K–$120K per season

Fully AI-produced vertical dramas using advanced generative pipelines. Ideal for fantasy, sci-fi, and high-concept series. A strong entry point for platforms testing a genre before committing to larger budgets.

How We Work

Every series we produce is custom-built and exclusive to the commissioning platform or investor. Nobody else gets the same show. Specific rights structures (territory, distribution windows, international licensing, remakes, merchandise) are defined per project in your production agreement.

We don't operate a licensing library. If you're looking for finished series to license, we're not the right partner. If you're ready to commission your own original slate, keep reading.

The Full 9:16 Vertical Production Pipeline

✍️ Concept & Writing — From premise to genre promise, we design episodes with hooks in the first 3–5 seconds and cliffhangers in every chapter — the foundation of binge-worthy mobile storytelling.

🎭 Casting & Directing — We focus on micro-expressions, timing, and authentic reactions tailored for small screens — performances designed to break the feed and keep audiences watching.

🎥 Native 9:16 Cinematic Shooting — We film natively in vertical (9:16, not cropped) with cinema gear: portrait lenses, vertical blocking, readable art and wardrobe, clean boom and lav sound, mobile-optimized subtitles.

🎬 Post-Production & Deliverables — Feed-tempo editing, mobile-friendly color grading, cinematic music and FX. We deliver masters, teasers, trailers, and key art.

🤖 AI Pipeline Integration — Proprietary workflows for generative video, character consistency across episodes, and hybrid integration. The AI stage is where we unlock cost efficiency without sacrificing quality.

Why Originals Beat Licensed Content

Platforms that dominate the next five years won't be the ones with the biggest licensed libraries. They'll be the ones with original IP they control.

Licensed content has no exclusivity (the same show is on your competitor's app), no remake rights, rising renewal costs, and no brand identity. Custom-produced originals give your platform exclusivity, a defensible asset, and the ability to differentiate. That's why DramaBox, ReelShort, and Viki have all shifted from licensed-only catalogs to original slates.

Platforms investing $1.5M–$3M across a slate of 10 vertical originals typically see 3–5x higher user retention versus licensed-only catalogs.

★★★★★

Bundle Packages (5–15 Original Series)

For platforms building a full slate, we offer bundled production of 5–15 original series produced in parallel. This lowers per-series cost by 30–40% through shared crews, optimized schedules, and economies of scale — without compromising quality.

Bundle benefits:

  • 🏗 Shared sets and core crew across titles

  • 📍 Location-blocked schedules for faster shoots

  • 📝 Editorial consistency across the slate

  • ⚡ Faster learning curve, stronger ROI per series

All series in the bundle remain custom productions — different stories, different casts, different genres. The efficiency is in the production infrastructure, not in repeating the same show.
