What TAREA FINA does

Tarea Fina is an Argentine independent film production company founded in 2009 by Juan Pablo Miller and headquartered in Buenos Aires. It produces and co-produces feature films and short films aimed at international festival circuits, with subsequent exploitation through theatrical and streaming/VOD distribution. The company operates three production lines: Largometrajes (feature films, 31 completed titles), Cortometrajes (short films, 9 completed titles), and Proyectos en Curso (projects in development, including Cerro Negro, Los Erizos, La Ilusión de un Paraíso, and Trasfondo).

The company's core capability is the curation, development, and production of auteur-driven Spanish-language cinema under a recurring co-production model. Films are typically financed and produced jointly with Argentine and international partners (Utopica Cine, Aire Cine, Salta La Liebre, Metaluna Productions in France, Urban Factory in France, Seacuatico in Uruguay, Sancho Filmes in Brazil, Augenschein Filmproduktion in Germany, Animal de Luz in Mexico). Distribution relies on premiering at international festivals — most notably Cannes (Caméra d'Or for Las Acacias in 2011), Berlin (Crystal Bear for El Inicio de Fabrizio, Best Film in Generation Kplus for Ciencias Naturales), and San Sebastián (Best Latin American Film for Las Acacias) — and on subsequent theatrical and streaming rights sales.

Revenue is generated through licensing royalties on per-project deals (festival-driven sales, regional theatrical distributors, and post-theatrical streaming/VOD agreements), with pricing not publicly disclosed. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, has approximately 17 employees, has raised no external institutional capital, and operates with a small, recurring set of creative and producing collaborators centered on Juan Pablo Miller.
