Quijote Films Launches Scripted Series Division Ahead of Mipcom

Chile's Quijote Films has launched an in-house scripted series development arm, investing up to $250,000 in series development ahead of Mipcom, according to Variety.

The company has established an in-house screenwriting and external development team to originate original series and to partner with third-party creators, studios and production companies as an executive producer.

Quijote head of strategy Sergio Karmy is attending Mipcom, where the company is seeking international co-development and co-financing partnerships with streaming platforms, studios and production companies.

The roughly $250,000 investment in 2026 supports creative personnel and project-specific costs, per the background details reported by Variety.

Established Track Record

Quijote Films is behind Cannes Un Certain Regard prizewinners 'The Mysterious Gaze of the Flamingo' and 'The Settlers'. The company has lead produced or participated in close to 30 international co-productions to date, including Chile's first co-production pacts with Ukraine ('Pamfir') and South Africa ('The Smell of Apples').

Karmy joined Quijote from Fabula, run by director Pablo Larrain and his producing partner Juan de Dios Larrain. At a recent Masterclass at the Vancouver Film Festival, Giancarlo Nasi stressed that the best co-productions are those that make both creative and financial sense. Looking ahead to 2027, Quijote welcomes co-development opportunities across territories and languages.
