Clara Films SpA

What Clara Films SpA does

Clara Films SpA is a privately held boutique audiovisual production company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Vitacura, Santiago de Chile. The company specializes in international multidisciplinary collaboration between Latin America and Europe, operating across three core product lines: CINE (feature films and documentaries for festival and theatrical distribution), TV (television series and episodic content for streaming platforms), and CONTENIDO (commercial and corporate audiovisual content including fashion films, branded campaigns, and architectural documentation). Complementary services span project development, full-scale production, production services for third parties, integral design, and advisory work.

The business operates with a lean core team of approximately five people, anchored by founding partner and producer Clara Larraín (recipient of the Promising Producers Award from Marché du Film) and executive producer Daniela Raviola (co-founder of JUNTOS Films), supported by executive production assistant Rocío Costa and key collaborator Shawn Garry. There is no proprietary technology platform; production is delivered through human creative labor, project-based collaborators, and co-production partners. Revenue is generated through one-time licensing of films and series to festivals, distributors, and streaming platforms (e.g., Prime Video acquired Inmersión), alongside project-based professional services fees from corporate and commercial clients spanning real estate, fashion, retail, finance, healthcare nonprofits, and architecture.

Distribution relies on international film festival circulation (Visions du Réel, Cannes Docs, Tallinn Black Nights, FICG, FECICH, FECIPA), streaming platform licensing, and the recently opened BF Distribution theatrical channel in Chile. The company expanded to Madrid, Spain in 2024 to strengthen transatlantic co-production ties. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commercial contracts vary by project scope, and films are funded through a mix of public grants, co-production equity, and licensing advances. The company is independently owned with no disclosed external investors, parent entity, or funding rounds.
