Cinematográfica

What Cinematográfica does

Cinematográfica is a Brazilian full-service audiovisual production company headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, with approximately 132 employees. It operates an integrated model covering script development, shooting, and post-production supported by an owned studio (acoustic isolation, chroma key infinity cove, Aputure lighting, BlackMagic/Prime-lens cameras) and an in-house post-production base. The company serves enterprise clients and agencies across financial services (Sicredi), retail (Lojas Colombo), agriculture/cooperatives (Pioneer Sementes, Languiru), energy (Stemac), healthcare regulation (COREN/RS), professional associations (OAB/RS), and government/entrepreneurship (Sebrae-RS), delivering institutional films, advertising, branded content, web series, documentaries, training videos, and aerial imagery.

The company has added a generative-AI production service ('Vídeos em I.A.') using an ecosystem of image, video, voice, and motion AI tools applied within a structured pipeline. It also produces authored IP, including the 'Histórias Estranhas' horror anthology franchise (theatrical release via Elo Company into Cinemark, with AMC licensing) and vertical-format novela content through the NXPOP platform, where it was the first Southern Brazilian producer to launch a vertical novella.

Cinematográfica operates a sales-led GTM combining direct engagement with corporate clients and repeat agency partnerships (EscalaCity+, Escala, Attitude, Veraz, Global) that route projects through established creative relationships. Pricing is custom and project-based (quotation-driven, multi-year contracts), with revenue generated from professional services fees and studio daily rentals; no public pricing or revenue figures are disclosed.
