Boutique Filmes

What Boutique Filmes does

Boutique Filmes LTDA is a São Paulo-headquartered, privately-held film and television production company founded in 2011 by Tiago Mello and Gustavo Mello. Operating as an independent production house with no disclosed outside institutional investment, the company produces fiction series, documentary series, animated series, and feature films for major streaming platforms and broadcast networks. Its 53-project portfolio includes '3%' (the first Netflix original in Brazil, four seasons), 'Elize Matsunaga: Era Uma Vez um Crime' (the first Brazilian true crime on Netflix), 'Mila no Multiverso' (Disney+), 'PCC - Poder Secreto' (HBO Max), 'O Negociador' (Amazon Prime Video/Fremantle), and 'ROTA 66' (Globoplay), with the company claiming delivery of 200+ hours of programming and three International Emmy Kids Awards nominations.

The business model is project-based professional services combined with co-production licensing: Boutique Filmes secures commissions from platforms such as Netflix, Globoplay, Amazon Prime Video, Discovery+, Disney+, and HBO Max, and structures international co-productions with partners including Spiral Internacional and Fremantle to share production costs and global distribution rights. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through production fees and licensing/royalty arrangements tied to individual series and film deliveries. The company distributes through streaming marketplaces, broadcast/cable channels, and — beginning in 2026 — theatrical release for feature films.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at commissioning editors and content executives at major platforms and broadcasters, supplemented by participation in international film markets. Customers are segmented horizontally across streaming platforms (primary) and broadcast networks (secondary), with content verticalized into crime/thriller, kids/family, political/current-affairs documentary, and science-fiction genres. With 51-100 employees and a single São Paulo headquarters, Boutique Filmes operates as a boutique studio whose competitive position rests on founder-led creative talent, a 13-year track record with all major Brazilian and global streamers, and a growing international co-production capability.
