Three years after it unveiled a 20 million venture capital fund aimed at bolstering film and TV series, Chile-based Screen Capital has introduced a second investment fund, Screen II, which will support projects in the digital entertainment arena: Video games, Virtual Reality, Ott platforms, Extended Reality (Xr), apps etc.
Screen Capital is co-founded by former Chile Film Commissioner Joyce Zylberberg and Tatiana Emden, who once headed Chile’s Development Fund, and has among its key partners, Edgar Spielmann, ex-vp and COO of Fox Networks Group Latin America.
The Screen II investment fund is backed by a mix of public and private sector investors, the latter led by Mexican producer Alex Garcia of Ag Studios, who has invested in a slew of film, TV, music and tech projects in the past years.
“It was a natural step for me given all that I have worked on in the past,” he told Variety.

Madrid — Bowing as the demand for premium Spanish-language content still outruns its supply, Chile’s Screen Capital is launching a $20 million venture capital fund targeting principally TV series and movies with part streaming platform distribution.
Chile first private investment fund specializing in the audiovisual and entertainment sector, and looking in principle to focus on productions from the Spanish-speaking world, Screen Capital will launch in March. Founded by former Chile Film Commissioner Joyce Zylberberg and Tatiana Emden, who oversaw Chile’s Audiovisual Development Fund, the country’s principal source of public-sector incentives, Screen Capital numbers among its partners Edgar Spielmann, ex-vp and COO of Fox Networks Group Latin America.
Based out of Santiago de Chile, but with members and collaborators in Argentina, the U.S. and the Dominican Republic, Screen Capital investments will average around $2 million per title, the fund either co-producing, investing or offering credit lines to productions.

Cannes — Adrián Suar, Latin America’s most extraordinary hyphenate, sits in Cannes’ Palais des Festivals, the Croisette behind him, ready to talk up his latest pioneering move in the Latin American TV entertainment scene.
That’s no minor detail. As Fox pushes ever more into a digital cord-cutting world, Suar’s show, “The Host,” currently rates as the No 1 original production from Fox Networks Group Latin America on the new Fox + app.
Suar’s at Cannes, because, in a world of ever more global localization, the idea could also export as a format to other countries too.
“The Host” is just the latest move in a remarkably broad career.
For the Argentine public, Suar’s one of the most recognizable faces of a hugely popular line in Argentine comedy of manners: 2008’s “A Boyfriend For My Wife,” “Just Like Me” in 2010, 2012’s “2 + 2” and last year’s “I Married a Dumbass,...

Turner Latin America has sold the Brazilian Space original “Pacto de Sangre” to Netflix for the rest of Latin America. Turner’s focus on that specific content is Brazil, says Tomás Yankelevich, Evp & chief content officer, general entertainment Turner Latin America. Viacom Intl. Studios is negotiating a big Svod deal in Latin America on Telefe and Porta dos Fundos titles, in development and new originals, says Pierluigi Gazzolo, president of Viacom Intl. Media Networks Americas. “We are actively targeting the OTTs,” says Cris Abrego, CEO of Endemol Shine North America. “Sometimes they look to a specific territory for their content, but more often they see the whole region as one, making it possible for us to pitch, sell and produce shows that will work throughout all of Latin America.” He cites “Nicky Jam: El Ganador,” produced for Netflix and Telemundo.

Adapting to an ever-more digital world, if Latin America’s scripted series industry could choose an early 2018 mantra, it might well be “co-production.”
Co-produced by Fox Networks Groups Latin America (Fngla) and Mexico’s La Corriente del Golfo, Gael Garcia Bernal’s “Here on Earth” is competing in Canneseries, the Cannes Intl. Series Festival, which is unspooling its first edition April 4-11 during Mip.
Among Latin America’s biggest free-to-air series hits this year are “Sandro,” co-produced by Telefe and Telefilms’ the Magic Eye, and Globo’s “13 Days Away From the Sun,” co-produced with Fernando Meirelles’ o2 Filmes.
One of Latin America’s largest TV deals to go down this year was a double-backed co-production alliance between Turner Latin America and Spain’s Mediapro, announced at Natpe.
Meanwhile, the top Latino content producers pinpoint co-production as a key growth strategy. Telemundo Global Studios aims “to co-produce with companies with a lot of experience,...
