What Tercer Piso does

Tercer Piso LLC is a privately held creative studio and production company headquartered in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, with a US office in Miami, Florida. The company specializes in video production and strategic communication campaigns for three primary verticals: NGOs and human rights organizations (Amnesty International, International Service for Human Rights, Coloradas de la Virgen), the music industry (Farruko, Carbon Fiber Music), and corporate brands (TIGO, Van Heusen Honduras, Gildan, Indeplast). Core offerings span full production services (direction, producing, editing, and post-production), strategic communication and brand development, animation, illustration, photography, and live streaming. Commercial pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no public pricing disclosed.

The company operates a parallel films division under the sub-brand Tercer Piso Films, which has produced five documentary and feature films — Olancho, Berta Vive, Blind Deaf Mute, Before Dawn, and Mortal — with notable presence at international film festivals including SITGES 2020 (world premiere for Mortal), IFFR Rotterdam, Margaret Mead Film Festival, In-Edit Music Documentary, and others. Documentary production is conducted through co-production partnerships (OXFAM, Terco Producciones, Kreativa Media, Modulus Studio) and distributed through festival screenings and platforms like Vimeo On Demand.

The business model is overwhelmingly project-based (one-time project license and professional services revenue), delivered through direct, relationship-led client engagement with no intermediary or platform distribution layer. Marketing and lead generation rely on organic social channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Behance) and festival presence. The core team comprises 8-11 members led by Esther Anino (Producer, Director & Editor) with 10+ years of cross-industry producing experience. No external investors, parent entities, or acquisitions have been disclosed, and the company operates with no AI/ML capability, no proprietary software product, and no recurring subscription revenue stream.
