Description

Filmes Casa is an independent film development and production company based in Puerto Rico, focused on producing auteur Puertorican cinema for Iberoamerica and the Caribbean. Our film production company is praised for its curated, artisanal development and inclusive production model. As queer filmmakers, it is our nature to constantly reinvent ourselves and our filmmaking processes; to adapt and continuously challenge the status quo—to ask questions, to be daring and bold, to take risks, and tell the stories no one else is willing to tell. We believe that filmmaking is an experience most enjoyed when shared. From the set to the screen, we make sure we are having fun doing our job: bringing our stories to life.
