Cannes Winner Quijote Films launches in-house series division
The cinematic magic of Chile is poised to shift from the big screen to the small screen, as Quijote Films embarks on an exciting new chapter in television development. This acclaimed production house, known for bringing unique visual stories to the international stage, is expanding its horizons by launching an in-house series development arm.
Quijote Films has already carved out a distinguished reputation, notably securing prestigious awards at the Cannes Un Certain Regard festival for their feature films, The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo and The Settlers. These successes have cemented the company’s ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate globally.
Leveraging this creative momentum, the Chilean-based company is now channeling its expertise into the world of scripted television, aiming to tell serialized stories that capture the same depth and visual flair.
This ambitious pivot is backed by significant financial commitment. Quijote Films has already invested up to $250,000 in development ahead of the upcoming Mipcom conference, signaling a serious intent to build a robust slate of new series.
The operation is a dynamic blend of cultures and locations, rooted in both Chile and the dynamic creative hub of Los Angeles. This dual perspective ensures that the new series will possess a rich, international sensibility.
By establishing this dedicated development arm, Quijote Films is not just producing content; they are building a new powerhouse capable of incubating and nurturing the next generation of visual storytelling. The future of Chilean cinematic talent is set to shine brightly on television.
