Alpha Studios was created by filmmaker Ricardo Islas in 1985, in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay. In partnership with a local TV station, Islas made several horror movies that went on to inspire entire generations of filmmakers who were encouraged to overcome whatever limitations they had, and simply grab a camera and start shooting their stories.

Where   we   are   now

In the mid 90's, Alpha Studios found a new home in the Windy City. Since then, we've been producing non-stop. Featuring truly diverse casts and original stories, Alpha Studios has been the stepping stone for local, national and international talented actors and crews. 

With an established name, and ever-growing library of titles placed in markets all over the world, Alpha Studios continues its journey. We have now expanded to co-produce with local and international partners who share our passion for storytelling. Check our Testimonials here
