Quijote Films, a Chilean production company based in both Chile and Los Angeles, announced the establishment of a new division dedicated to developing scripted television series. The company has allocated roughly $250,000 toward development efforts for the initiative, which includes investment in creative personnel and project-specific costs designed to establish a sustainable pipeline of original series content.
The production house has built its reputation through financing and producing independent, auteur-driven cinema across multiple territories. To date, the company has served as a lead producer or co-producer on close to 30 international co-productions, including Chile’s first collaborative partnerships with Ukraine and South Africa. Notable titles in the company’s portfolio include “The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo” and “The Settlers,” both of which won recognition at the Cannes Film Festival’s Un Certain Regard section.
For its expansion into scripted series, Quijote has assembled an in-house screenwriting team and external development staff to both originate original projects and collaborate with third-party creators, studios, and production companies in executive producer roles. The company is seeking international co-development and co-financing partnerships with streaming platforms, studios, and other production entities. Looking to leverage its existing co-production infrastructure, Quijote aims to build a pipeline of premium scripted series for global audiences, with openness to opportunities across various territories and languages.
The company’s expansion strategy is supported by Chile’s cash rebate incentive program, which reimburses between 30% and 40% of expenses for international productions filmed in the country. The rebate applies to feature films and series with minimum investments of $400,000, potentially allowing productions to recover between $120,000 and $3 million in costs.
