Fabula Productions

What Fabula Productions does

Fabula Productions is a Chilean independent film, television, and commercial production company founded in 2003 and headquartered in Santiago. It operates full-service production across feature films, scripted and documentary series, advertising, and emerging podcast/audio formats, supplemented by one-stop production services for external productions — including Chile-specific tax rebate expertise. The company is structured around long-tenured relationships with a small group of internationally recognized directors (notably Pablo Larraín, Sebastián Lelio, and Maite Alberdi) and a multi-city footprint with offices in Santiago, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Madrid that supports international co-productions.

The company monetizes through professional services fees on a project basis across three primary streams: feature film production (often co-financed with international partners such as Participant, FilmNation Entertainment, Komplizen Film, and Funny Balloons); television series production for global streamers (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Max) and Chilean broadcasters (TVN, Canal 13); and high-volume commercial advertising production for Chilean blue-chip brands including Falabella, Banco de Chile, Claro, Jumbo, Coca-Cola, and Samsung. Distribution is multi-channel: global streaming platforms carry feature and series output, theatrical release handles select titles, and broadcast networks plus brand-owned channels carry commercial and episodic content.

Its go-to-market is relationship-driven and project-by-project, with pitch and acquisition flows running through director relationships, film markets, and direct outreach to networks and brands. The company has no public listing, no disclosed parent, and no disclosed funding rounds; revenue and ownership structure are not publicly available. Its credibility is anchored by an unusually concentrated award profile for an independent Latin American house — including an Academy Award (Una Mujer Fantástica, 2017), an Oscar for Best Cinematography (El Conde, 2023), a Golden Lion at Venice (2023), a Goya Award (2024), and additional Oscar nominations for Spencer (2022) and The Eternal Memory (2024).
