Studio

One person directs. Not a committee.

Criteria Films is a production studio founded in Panama in 2010. We have directed for foundations, multilaterals and banks in Washington, New York, Madrid and Panama — serious stories, told with craft.

How we work.

  • 01

    One person directs.

    Every project has one director from the first call to final delivery. No account executive in the middle, no lost translation.

  • 02

    We propose; you approve.

    The content calendar comes from us, based on what’s coming up at your company. Your job is to say yes or correct — never to chase us.

  • 03

    Few accounts, on purpose.

    We work with few companies at a time so none goes unattended. If we can’t do a project right, we say so before signing.

We have produced for

  • Bertelsmann Foundation
  • Club de Madrid
  • UNICEF
  • World Bank
  • IDB
  • Humanity in Action
  • Banco General

And we produce our own.

Two original series — Istmo and Pombo — where we test everything first. They are the most honest way to show what we can do: no brief, no excuses.
