Factual production across Peru's archives, Andean communities and Amazonian frontier
Here is how this works in practice. Documentary production in Peru draws on a research landscape that stretches from the Archivo General de la Nación. The Biblioteca Nacional del Perú in Lima through the regional archives in Cusco, Arequipa and Trujillo, the Ministerio de Cultura collections that govern Machu Picchu, Chan Chan, Caral and Kuelap, and the TV networks libraries at TV Perú, Latina and América.
Here is the short of it. We support global documentary teams with fixers and researchers who open access to academics at PUCP and Universidad de Lima, broker interviews with cultural figures across the Llosa-Lombardi-Fuentes-León today's cinema generation, and arrange contributor access with Indigenous federations representing Quechua, Aymara, Asháninka, Awajún and Shipibo communities. Our crews scale from a solo verite shooter trailing artisanal gold miners in Madre de Dios to full ENG units for structured interviews in the capital's San Isidro and Miraflores office towers, with interpreters bridging Spanish, Quechua, Aymara and Amazonian languages.
Here is the breakdown. Subject sensitivity shapes how we operate. Projects touching the internal-conflict legacy (Shining Path, Truth and Reconciliation Commission archives), illegal mining and deforestation, Indigenous land-rights cases like Máxima Acuña, post-Fujimori politics, or today's corruption investigations need trust-building that begins long before the camera arrives — our team handles community liaisons in highland Apurímac, Ayacucho and Huancavelica, runs discreet crew configurations where access depends on it, and applies the security and source-protection protocols investigative work demands.
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Production scales from theatrical features following Heddy Honigmann's observational custom through long-form docuseries for Netflix Latin America, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and TV Perú strands. Post coordination covers editing at Lima facilities, archive clearance with the Ministerio de Cultura and TV networks libraries, and festival-grade finishing for premieres at Festival de the capital, Festival al Este, IDFA and the global circuit.
