Alpamayo Entertainment was a Peruvian animation studio and television production company specializing in computer animation. It began operations in 2003 and ceased in 2010.[1]

History

edit

Alpamayo Entertainment began operations in 2003, founded by the renowned economist Jaime Carbajal Perez. It started as a film studio and television production company. Its name was inspired by the Alpamayo mountain.

In just four years of existence, thanks to the national cinematography law, it became one of the leading references in Latin America during the decade.[1][2] In 2007, it was recognized at the San Diego Latino Film Festival, where its first two films were screened.[3]

Films

edit

Its films included:

These films were released in theaters with a budget of around half a million dollars,[2][4] and later aired on television. The first two films were directed by Eduardo Schuldt, who later founded FxAnimation Peru independently.[5] In 2007, preparations began for *Valentino*, but due to business competition, Schuldt was removed from the project. *Valentino and the Can Clan* was ultimately directed by Argentine director David Bisbano and completed. In 2008, a fourth film, *The Search for the Magic Tooth*, was planned for a mid-2009 release, but due to technical disputes and budget issues at Alpamayo, it was never completed.[6][7] Years later, production of the film resumed under another studio, and it was eventually released as Rodencia and the Princess's Tooth.

edit

From its founding until 2010, two similar logos were used. The logo featured the word "Alpamayo" in gray (or sometimes gold) typography, with the word "Entertainment" in uppercase and a red-like color, set against a black background. It included a red square with a circle and a mountain.

Later, the legal entity Alpamayo Entertainment was dissolved, and only the legal entity JCFilms, founded by Jaime Carbajal, remained.[8]
