About Alberto Serra
INTERNATIONAL FILM DIRECTOR
Doesn’t matter what happens, we’ll get the shot!
My story within the audiovisual world began when I was very young and my uncles were advertising producers. I used to spend my days with them at the sets, where later on I started to work in full time. But my thing, has always been the movies for pure intuition. It’s in my DNA.
At age of 15, I did my first short film, I remember by that time, I had won a scholarship to study naval engineering at the US, but felt that my place wasn’t there, it was in the movies. Telling stories that are able to give a voice to the people who don’t have one, even through horror, is my passion. Naturally, I started my own production house and began to travel internationally to achieve my specialization. I’ve studied and worked in the US, Brasil and The Czech Republic.
After doing a lot of traveling around the globe, and making many cinematographic projects of my own, it’s time to move forward towards the next chapter in this story and enter to compete in other markets through co-productions, contracts, and collaborations.
The Team
In my story, I’m not alone. I have a close production team with whom I’ve been working for years, creating an attractive cinematographic industry in Panama.
With a vast knowledge in each department, we’re able to adapt to the most complicated circumstances and maintain the levels of creativity, always seen through the lens.

OUR SYSTEM AND APPROACH
- We choose the story. I particularly like those that have more of a human touch that come from people with that “energy” or “feeling” that’s needed.
- We land the idea and study its true possibilities.
- We study the access of local and international financing.
- Our production time is between 15 to 20 days top.
- We create the impulse to tell the story and give it visibility.
- All of the process is made by thinking in an objective audience and a specific market.
