Talipot Studio

What Talipot Studio does

Talipot Studio is a Mexico City-based content creation, production, and development studio founded in 2018 that operates as an incubator of scripts and concepts for feature films, television series, and documentaries. The company functions as producer or co-producer of projects, developing stories from initial concept through to distribution, with stated emphasis on achieving solid financial justification for each project. Its portfolio spans international co-productions with acclaimed directors (Leos Carax, Mia Hansen-Løve, Abel Ferrara, Lisandro Alonso, Viggo Mortensen, Laura Mora Ortega, Daniel Giménez Cacho), national feature films, a documentary, and theatrical performing arts. The studio is led by CEO Regina Solórzano, who previously worked at CANANA, VIACOM, and Fábrica de Cine, and COO Bii Niza Cojulun, supported by a 15+ person team across production, content, legal, finance, and creative development roles.

Talipot's revenue model combines professional services income (co-production fees, production budgets, and development deals) with licensing royalties from distribution rights sold to streaming platforms (Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, MUBI), electronic sell-through (Apple TV, Google Play, Vudu), regional platforms (Cinepolis Klic, Claro Video, Teatrix Mexico), and theatrical distributors. Its go-to-market is event-driven, leveraging premieres at top-tier international film festivals (Cannes, Toronto, San Sebastián, Berlin, SXSW, Morelia) to build prestige, secure press coverage, and attract distribution partners. Co-production deals with international directors and production houses serve as the primary deal origination mechanism, with the studio also participating in external developments at attractive stages. Distribution reach spans Mexico, the U.S., Europe, and Latin America.

Talipot is a privately held Mexican company (TALIPOT STUDIO S.A.P.I. DE C.V.) headquartered in Mexico City with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, or public listing. The studio has no public pricing model since its products (films, documentaries, series) are licensed B2B rather than sold to consumers. The studio is currently developing television series with creators including Rodrigo Prieto, Gibrán Portela, Mark Olsen, and Will Scheffer, marking a strategic expansion from feature-film-only production into serialized content.
