Screen Capital

What Screen Capital does

Screen Capital is a Chile-based private investment fund administrator specializing in the audiovisual and entertainment industry, founded in 2020 by Joyce Zylberberg (former Chile Film Commissioner) and Tatiana Emden (former head of Chile's Audiovisual Development Fund). The firm manages two distinct funds: Screen One, a US$20 million private equity vehicle launched in 2020 that co-finances international film and television projects while allowing producers to retain intellectual property; and Screen II, a US$20 million venture capital fund launched in late 2022 that targets early-stage MediaTech companies in video games, virtual reality, OTT platforms, extended reality, and entertainment applications. Combined assets under management are approximately US$50 million, sourced from a mix of private investors (including family offices and entertainment industry participants such as Mexican producer Alex Garcia) and a US$13 million credit line from Corfo, Chile's economic development agency.

The firm monetizes through traditional fund management fees on committed and called capital, carried interest and equity returns on its portfolio investments, and increasingly through retained intellectual property that is licensed to streaming platforms and distributors on territorial and time-limited bases. Its go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct relationships with producers, presence at industry markets and festivals such as MIP Cancun and Venice Film Festival, and strategic alliances with international sales agents and streamers. In 2025, Screen Capital expanded vertically by acquiring Versatile Communications Inc. and launching Umbra, a multi-platform horror and fantasy streaming hub operated through its wholly owned subsidiary Mórbido TV Entertainment SpA.

The company is positioning for international scale through its planned third fund (Screen3), structured with former Paramount Global executive Sebastián Vibes, who joined as a partner in 2026. Operationally the firm maintains a small team of approximately 10 employees based in Santiago's Las Condes district, with portfolio investments and co-production partnerships spanning Chile, the United States, Italy, Mexico, Israel, Argentina, Uruguay, and Turkey. Screen Capital has been recognized by LAVCA as a Top Women Investor in Latin America in both 2024 and 2025, and its Screen One portfolio film Memory was selected for the Venice Film Festival Official Competition in 2024.
