Urbano Films

Urbano Films, a privately owned company headquartered in Ecuador, provides media managed services. Founded in 1998, the company has approximately 10 employees and reported $1.2M in revenue as of 2024. Operating as an audiovisual agency and the primary international line production and fixing hub in Ecuador, it is engineered to coordinate logistics across the country’s diverse geographical biomes. The company functions as a gateway for foreign studios and networks, managing assignments such as the Amazonian segments for National Geographic's documentary series *Pole to Pole* with Will Smith. Rather than operating strictly as a local media vendor, Urbano Films focuses on expedition logistics, wildlife filming infrastructure, location scouting, and regulatory compliance across the Galápagos Islands, the Amazon Basin, and the Andean highlands. The agency provides an operational framework for international crews by managing regional permitting, equipment rentals, and local casting, while facilitating client access to Ecuador’s 37% audiovisual cash-back tax incentives.
