Engagement model / Modelo de contratación

Billed by the series, never by the hour.

A commission is a fixed-scope package: scripts, casting, bilingual recording, editing, music clearance and final masters. Half is invoiced to open the commission, half on delivery of masters. Script revisions continue until you lock the draft.

    Brief

    A recorded interview with your team and a written series bible.

  2. Weeks 2–4

    Script

    Episode scripts drafted in English and in Spanish, then locked.

  3. Week 5

    Record

    Narrators and local voices, taped in both languages.

  4. Weeks 6–8

    Master

    Edit, score, mix and delivery of masters with show notes.

Who commissions us / A quién servimos

Asked before commissioning

Who owns the finished series?

You do. Scripts and masters transfer on final payment. We show an excerpt in our own reel only with your written consent.

Are the Spanish editions translated?

No. Each edition is written in its own language by a native writer, so the rhythm and the jokes survive the crossing.

What if the script is not right?

Revisions continue until you sign off a locked draft. Recording begins only after lock, so nothing is taped twice.

Can we publish it ourselves?

Yes. You receive broadcast-ready masters, chapter markers and show notes. Hosting setup is available as an add-on.
