What omava does

OMAVA, LLC is a privately held international audiovisual production company headquartered in North Miami, Florida, with additional production offices in Rome, Madrid, and Buenos Aires. The company creates, produces, and licenses documentary and docu-reality series for major international television networks and streaming platforms, reaching audiences in more than 100 countries. Its core product is a catalog of 16+ documentary series spanning security/law enforcement (Airport Security franchise with 9 aired seasons and 2 in production; Stop! Border Control; Latin America Dangerous Borders; Street Cops São Paulo; LAPD), emergency services (Metropoli series covering Mexico City, Bogota, and Sao Paulo), medical (Amazing Hospital: Barcelona Clinic), wildlife (Saving the Wild), and lifestyle (A Slice of Tradition, Recipe of a Conquest, Rescate al Limite). Distribution is primarily through B2B content licensing agreements with tier-1 broadcasters and streamers including National Geographic, A&E, Discovery, CANAL+, RTL, NIPPON TV, PLUTO TV, HULU, Amazon Prime Video, and NBC Universo. The company's central commercial differentiator is its exclusive, annually-renewed access to international security forces and border control agencies, an asset validated by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), which formally supports OMAVA's productions. Revenue is generated through content licensing royalties on a per-production scope basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed.
