PROFESSIONAL SERVICES FOR DOCUMENTARY FILM

Documentary Script and Editing Consultancy
From early development stages to final editing, projects can accumulate too many ideas, characters, or conflicts, causing narrative clarity to fade. Our role is to provide an external perspective that prioritizes what is most relevant, organizing narrative layers and strengthening the conflicts and characters that sustain the story. We do not intervene to alter the director’s vision, but to ensure each decision becomes clearer, more effective, and more powerful. This is especially valuable for projects applying to national and international funds, preparing for pitching sessions, or navigating any critical stage where structure and coherence are essential.
On-Location Documentary Production
When a shoot increases in complexity or takes place in another region or country, maintaining the director’s vision can become challenging. We step in as their eyes on set, supervising production, cinematography, and sound to ensure everything remains aligned with the project’s narrative. We also handle specific tasks such as B-roll, interviews, or drone footage, allowing the creative team to focus on directing and writing — even when they cannot be present at every location.
Image Post-Production
Post-production often begins without a clear plan, and the relationship between image, emotion, and storytelling can weaken. We ensure that every cut and every color decision reinforces the narrative and remains consistent with the original script. We also prepare materials for professional international exhibition standards, including DCP delivery, and offer plans adapted to real budgets, working with local partners for technical testing. Our goal is to make post-production an empowering step that elevates your story to its full potential — not an unattainable one.

Success Story: Documentary Madres de Octubre
“Highly recommended for those in development processes or even in the middle of editing, as we were, to find those guiding lights that help shape our documentaries.
The consultancy is delivered in a clear and approachable way, helping to untangle ideas that often arise during the documentary filmmaking process. It had a significant impact on our project: it allowed us to clearly identify the different narrative threads of the story and give meaning to what we had been intuitively sensing, while also contributing new ideas and strengthening weaker areas.”
Cristián Lagos, director of the feature documentary Madres de Octubre, selected for the Audiovisual Fund – Post-Production Line 2026.
