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.

Few filmmaking houses can afford to say this: We are truly independent. Our formula is no secret: Solid scripts, serious commitment, smartly invested low cost, and tons of passion. We are proud to announce our ongoing production, where we're working closely with members of the Zapoteco indigenous community, featuring entire scenes in their native language. This global approach to storytelling reflects our dedication to inclusivity and the celebration of diverse voices.
