INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTIONS · U.S. & SPAIN
Production service is the wrong frame.
What an international film needs is translation. Systems, unions, permits, expectations. Without losing the director’s vision along the way.
TRANSLATE, DON’T SERVICE
U.S. ↔ Spain
A production doesn’t land in the U.S. by renting gear and hiring locals. It lands by being translated.
European financing logic into American paperwork. A Spanish crew structure into U.S. union reality. A shot list into permits that actually clear.
We don’t execute instructions. We translate intent.
CASE STUDY · NEW YORK, 2026
“El Gusto del Cloro”
A Spanish feature with a European creative team, shot entirely on location in New York City. The complicated kind.
The complicated part. Rooftops, parks, and streets across the city. Live subway platforms that required months of MTA film permitting. Union crews, U.S. insurance, American payroll.
HOW IT LANDED
SPAIN ↔ NEW YORK
Burrito Films service-produced the New York shoot. One point of contact between Spain and New York.
Entity and contracts, permits and locations, insurance and payroll, bilingual crews working in Spanish and English.
The result. The film wrapped on schedule. European creative team. American production system. The director’s vision arrived intact.
INVISIBLE BY DESIGN
When the system works, nobody notices it. The director directs. The DP lights. Our machinery stays out of frame.
WHAT WE COVER
ENTITY & CONTRACTS
U.S. entity, vendor agreements, deal memos.
PERMITS & LOCATIONS
From film offices to the MTA.
INSURANCE & PAYROLL
COIs, workers comp, union and non-union payroll.
BILINGUAL CREWS
Spanish and English, both coasts.
BUDGET CONTROL & COST REPORTING
Weekly cost reports. No surprises.
U.S. STANDARD POST PIPELINE
Delivery specs that clear QC.
WHO IT’S FOR
Producers, production companies, and agencies in Spain and Europe bringing features, commercials, or branded content to the U.S. Teams that care about the director’s vision and need the American side handled by people who speak both languages, cinematic and legal.
Whether your team is flying into Los Angeles, building a campaign in Spain, or connecting both markets in one production plan, we help make the process clear, efficient, and creatively protected.
HOW WE RUN IT
Every production runs on the same six-step framework. Brief, plan, shoot, post, delivery, partnership. Discipline is what makes creative work repeatable.
