About Monkey Puzzle Media
Monkey Puzzle Media is an independent film production company that connects Chile with the international filmmaking community by making compelling, emotional cinema for global audiences. For 15 years, Monkey Puzzle’s founder, Langdon F. Page, dreamed from his home in Los Angeles of the day when high-speed internet would allow filmmakers to work together regardless of their location. Since the mid-90′s he had felt an irresistible draw to the wild lands and timeless contradictions of the Southern Cone of the Americas. By 2011, the promise of an interconnected global community was finally becoming a reality, and Monkey Puzzle Media was born. The idea to form a production company in Chile with strong connections to the international marketplace captured the imagination of the recently-launched Start-Up Chile initiative, and Monkey Puzzle Media was awarded a $40,000 grant as a Round 2 participant. In it’s first year, 2012, Monkey Puzzle Media has forged strategic alliances with some of Chile’s best filmmaking teams. By bringing together Mr. Page’s experience making films with U.S. producers and directors, combined with the local know-how of Chilean talent, Monkey Puzzle Media can offer U.S. productions a location experience in Chile that has never existed before. On the remote collaboration front, Monkey Puzzle Media successfully edited three documentaries with directors in Los Angeles’ a feature for HBO, and two shorts for 20th Century Fox’ from it’s base in Santiago. Finally, Monkey Puzzle has been developing a slate of original productions with filmmakers around the world to be shot and/or posted in Chile and released worldwide. For it’s second year, Monkey Puzzle Media is actively working with local private and government entities to improve the film financing environment in Chile. Already tax-free for international productions, it is our hope that 2013 will be the year Chile will begin offering incentives to draw even more film projects to the riches which Chile has to offer.
