Mandala Films

What Mandala Films does

Mandala Films is a privately held Chilean audiovisual production studio founded in 2010, headquartered in Providencia, Santiago de Chile. The company operates with a small core team of approximately five to six creative professionals covering directorial, post-production, art direction, cinematography, and administration roles, and is led by founder José Luis Menares (Director General). Its service portfolio comprises seven core offerings: promotional videos, corporate videos, documentary productions, timelapse cinematography, safety/training videos, aerial drone imagery, and a photography studio — bundled as a full-service production capability from concept through final editing.

The studio acquires clients through a direct-to-consumer go-to-market motion: prospective buyers reach the company via mandalafilms.cl, review a portfolio of completed projects hosted on Vimeo (including high-visibility work for Lollapalooza, Teletón 2023, OLX, TÜV, and Mutual de Seguridad), and book consultations through a Calendly integration. Pricing is custom-quoted per project and is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model; there are no disclosed retainers, SaaS or licensing streams.

Customer concentration spans a diverse set of Chilean enterprise and nonprofit clients across verticals including healthcare (Clínica Everest, Red Salud), retail (Dafiti, OLX), automotive/logistics (Only Logistic), agriculture (Lechería Los Maitenes, Grupo Valdivieso), wine (Maturana Wines), events (Lollapalooza Chile, Fantasilandia, Club Hípico), and industrial/OSH (TÜV, Mutual de Seguridad, Full Clean, Telrad, Vanni, CCTI, Domo 24). Mandala Films operates exclusively within Chile, with no disclosed international footprint, funding rounds, partnerships, patents, certifications, or M&A activity; ownership appears closely held by the founder-operators.
