What TVi - Televisão e Cinema does

TVi - Televisão e Cinema is a privately held Brazilian audiovisual production company founded in 1989 and headquartered in São Paulo. The company creates, develops, and produces films, telefilms, TV programs, documentary series, and drama series, distributed through Brazilian commercial and public broadcasters — including Rede Globo and its regional affiliates, TV Cultura, Canal Futura, and Canal Rural — as well as international streaming platforms such as Globoplay, Netflix, HBO Max, and Paramount+, and Portuguese public broadcaster RTP. Over 37 years, TVi has built a catalog of more than 2,000 episodes across five fiction series, over 100 documentary episodes, 9 telefilms, and multiple award-winning short and feature films, with notable series including the regional historical chronicles 'Santa Catarina, 100 Anos de História' (1,126 episodes) and 'Rio Grande do Sul, Um Século de História' (600 episodes), the bilingual accessibility-themed 'Crisálida', and the biographical 'Pequenos Grandes Talentos'. Recent development pipeline includes science fiction series 'Feliz Aniversário!' and bilingual Libras series 'Som e Silêncio'.

The business operates two revenue streams. The primary stream is B2B content licensing and production fees: TVi develops and pitches original series, films, and documentaries to TV networks and streaming platforms, generating licensing royalties tied to broadcaster commissions and grant-funded productions. The secondary stream is media training services for political candidates, executives, and public figures, delivered via a proprietary methodology branded 'Força Tranquila' (Calm Strength). The company is led by founder Laine Milan (Director, screenwriter, and producer), co-director Felipe Mucci (AFI Conservatory MFA; credits on HBO Max and Paramount+), and project manager Layla Guerra. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, with heavy reliance on Brazilian federal and state cultural development funding mechanisms (Lei Paulo Gustavo, FSA, FCC, Aldir Blanc) as both project financing and pipeline validation.
