ABOUT US

We tell true stories with empathy. We have worked with international clients ranging from NGOs, corporate clients, and television and radio stations. We’ve created everything from bespoke documentaries to branded content to event coverage and podcasts.

Dona Ana Films & Multimedia produced the award-winning documentary short “3 Siblings”. The company has also worked on productions that are focused on mega-sporting events such as the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the 2015 Copa America in Chile, and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

Dona Ana Films & Multimedia is operational in Canada, and works with partners in Latin America. We are interested in both partnerships and individual projects.
