MEDIA

we make fiction. we create lives.

HELLO, YOU’RE IN VANCOUVER

VANCOUVER Media is ÁLEX PINA’s personal project in order to bring together, under a single Spanish television production company, Talent, Motivation and Risk. Our goal is very clear: to weave truly distinctive fictional stories within the best drama tv series.

QUALITY IS TALENT | INNOVATION IS MOTIVATION | DIFFERENCE IS RISK

WE MAKE FICTION focused on a world where the viewers are already total experts. So WE CREATE LIVES that are surprising, magnetic, stimulating, moving, brazen, excessive, epic, disturbing. Addictive CHARACTERS who are neither good nor bad any more. In fact, they may be both.

OUR REALITY

STORIES

we make fiction

ORIGINAL SERIES THAT WE WOULD LOVE TO WATCH. ORIGINAL STORIES THAT ADD A NEW PERSPECTIVE, BEYOND ANYTHING WE’VE SEEN SO FAR. WE ARE DARINGLY RESOLUTE TO TELL THEM. MOTIVATION, EXPERIENCE AND UNCONVENTIONALITY. WE TAKE RISKS; SO WE INNOVATE.

CHARACTERS

we create lives

DIFFERENT, MAGNETIC, WRETCHED, AMBIGUOUS, UNPREDICTABLE… THE SERIES ARE BUILT ON THEIR CHARACTERS. THROUGH THEIR DIVERSE OUTLOOKS ON THE WORLD, WE GET HOOKED ON THEM. OUR CHARACTERS ARE PART OF US AND WE ARE PART OF THEM.

EMOTION

we create emotions

THESE CHARACTERS, OF A STRONG EMOTIONAL NATURE, UNFOLD BEFORE US NEW, SURPRISING UNIVERSES. REALITIES THAT EMBRACE NARRATIVE EPICS: FRIENDSHIP, ROMANCE, SURVIVAL. EMOTION REPRESENTS THE QUALITY LABEL FOR OUR DRAMA SHOWS.

WE CREATE LIVES

“My boy, I’m not very smart. Neither are you. But we’re damn lucky because in this hold-up the brain is someone else’s” | MONEY HEIST, 2017 (in Spanish LA CASA DE PAPEL)

“I met the professor as I aimed a gun at his balls. The good thing about relationships, you eventually forget how they began…” | MONEY HEIST, 2017 (in Spanish LA CASA DE PAPEL)

“Bring the matriarchy on!” | MONEY HEIST, 2017 (in Spanish LA CASA DE PAPEL)

“Men are programmed to ejaculate as fast as possible. Women, on the other hand, to last as long as possible, which they sometimes solve by faking an orgasm.” | MONEY HEIST, 2017 (in Spanish LA CASA DE PAPEL)

WE ARE CHARACTERS

ÁLEX PINA has always believed that sad stories need be told through comedy. He also believes that comedy is better if underneath lies some pain. Following this path, Pina has always engaged himself in delivering more humane narratives, as well as more ambiguous, more profound and, in the end, more authentic. And with very good results. For the last few years, he has secured his place as one of the most successful ideas man in Spanish drama. First of all, he worked as a screenwriter and executive producer in the series “PERIODISTAS-JOURNALISTS”. Afterwards, his career never stopped growing. He is the creator and executive producer of some of the biggest audiovisual hits of the last 15 years: “LOS SERRANO-THE SERRANOS”, “LOS HOMBRES DE PACO-PACO’S MEN”, “EL BARCO-THE BOAT”, “VIS A VIS-LOCKED-UP” or “LA CASA DE PAPEL-MONEY HEIST”. They are local series but have always seen a global reach, and include a wide array of genres.
