In a signal of new growth plans, leading Chilean company Quijote Films (“The Settlers”) has tapped former Fabula Strategy and Development Director Sergio Karmy to lead the company’s new business ambitions.

"Since its inception, Quijote has been characterized by the production of author's works with international reach, which have been awarded and premiered all over the world. Thanks to the success of the established model and the good financial health of the company, we have been able to invest in opening a new strategy department within the company, where we develop our own projects internally," said Giancarlo Nasi, founder of Quijote Films, which opened an office in Los Angeles a few years ago, adding that Quijote, which operates from the capital of Chile, Santiago, and Los Angeles, aims to "generate new business models".

“The idea is to use our proven ability to raise public funds, private equity investments and partnerships with streaming platforms and broadcasters globally to expand into documentaries, series and more mainstream genres, while always maintaining the excellence and quality we have strived for,” Nasi told Variety.
