Secuoya Studios, the figurehead of its business model
With Secuoya Studios earmarked for the implementation of its 360º end-to-end operation strategy, the company is making a firm bid for the world’s finest talent, its sights clearly set on generating the best Spanish-language stories for the international market.

The studio, headed by James Costos, is focused on large-scale local productions with a global vision, developed to the highest standards of any Hollywood production.
In this regard, the strength of Secuoya Content Group’s studio lies in its capacity to bring in top-notch creative talent, and provide the technical means, professional teams and high-quality solutions for production, post-production (editing, sound and colour) and VFX, as well as the facilities (sets, offices and multipurpose spaces), within an internationally unique ecosystem, World Content City – a pioneering film studio platform, with a total 47 sets across four countries (Spain, Mexico, Colombia and Portugal)- which is committed to ensuring sustainability in all its operations.
