Overview.
Brando Pictures is a motion picture production company with branches in the United States, United Kingdom, and Spain. Brando Pictures specializes in films that maintain the highest standards of artistic quality, and at the same time possess a degree of commercial viability that can retain exposure to wide audiences.
We provide an artistic home both for well-established and up-and-coming filmmakers and artists; supporting globally recognized artists in making the projects that they are passionate about, as well as nurturing young artists with talent and potential by giving them an artistic platform to share their work with a wider audience.
Production Philosophy: Modern Filmmaking.
Timeless cultural moment. Robert De Niro asking himself “You talkin’ to me?” in Taxi Driver, Heath Ledger’s Joker’s chilling “Why so serious?” in The Dark Knight, Tim Robbins triumphantly escaping from Shawshank Prison in The Shawshank Redemption. Moments like these define a generation. Films like these become instant classics that viewers will want to watch again and again. We craft timeless stories by making them emotional, and personal to the viewer and become part of our viewers’ cultural identity.
Careful story selection. Both original stories and literary adaptations, we adapt and create stories with the artistic potential that can be developed into successful critically acclaimed motion pictures.
Meticulous development strategy. We develop our stories into films that are suited to the demands of the audience, while also delivering the highest standards of artistic quality that can garner critical acclaim.
Dynamic international collaborations. Our production and distribution partners in the US, UK, and Europe put us in a uniquely privileged position to access and collaborate with a variety of talented creatives and film executives on a global scale.
Responsible lower-to- middle range budgets. Our films will have the visual appeal and scale of ones shot on a $60m budget, but they will require a lower one - in the range of $10-25m. We suit our films to the high demands of the audience, and then film them on a smaller budget, substituting expensive special effects with the talent of our creative teams.
Cutting-edge production strategy. We tailor the construction of our production teams to the needs of each project, combining local production teams that possess the artistic talent and experience of working on critically acclaimed film productions, with the production executives who can work to support their artistic endeavors. This ensures that our films attain the maximum production scale and quality without the waste and inefficiency of the major Hollywood studios.
New Wave Initiative.Through our new wave initiative, we aim to work with up-and-coming fresh artistic talent, who have demonstrated glimpses of high potential in their work but have not previously been given the opportunity to share their talents on a wider scale. We nurture their talent, providing them with a platform to both showcase and further develop their talents and capabilities. Eventually, we aim to integrate our New Wave talent into our higher budget productions as this will serve to further nurture their talents by collaborating with more established and experienced, critically acclaimed artists, in addition to infusing our productions with fresh ideas and talent.
