GP7 Cinema Ltda

What GP7 Cinema Ltda does

GP7 Cinema Ltda is a Brazilian independent audiovisual production company founded on June 11, 2001 by filmmakers Guto Pasko and Andréia Kaláboa, headquartered in Curitiba, Paraná. The company produces feature films, television series, documentaries, and telefilms across formats and genres, with a catalog of 66+ released works over 25 years of operation. Capabilities cover the full content lifecycle — creative development (two permanent screenplay rooms and an external writers network), production, post-production, and a proprietary self-distribution arm handling theatrical releases, TV licensing, and streaming windows.

The business model is built on coproduction partnerships with Brazilian broadcasters (TV Globo and RPC affiliate, TV Brasil/EBC, AXN/Sony), streaming platforms (Amazon Prime Video, Globoplay), and international distributors. Revenue is generated through licensing royalties, production financing, theatrical distribution, and government cultural incentive funding from ANCINE/FSA, Lei Paulo Gustavo, Ibermedia, Sundance Institute, and other regional funds. GP7 is the only producer in the state of Paraná to hold ANCINE Level 5 Classification (achieved May 2, 2024), the highest certification from Brazil's national cinema agency — a prerequisite for major broadcaster coproductions and for accessing larger government incentive flows.

Recent commercial validation includes the February 2026 national premiere of telefilm 'Meu Avô Stanislau' on TV Globo's Tela Quente, which reached 20+ million viewers and scored 9.6 national rating points — the highest-rated regional telefilm since Globo's regional coproduction initiative launched in 2023. The company is currently operating 5 strategic productions in 2026 with a development pipeline of approximately 40 projects, and is expanding its international coproduction footprint (Argentina, Dominican Republic, France) and self-distribution capabilities in parallel with its Brazilian broadcast pipeline.
