FOUNDING MOTIVATION

At CHAMÁN Films, we carry the ancient wisdom of our namesake into modern storytelling—a bridge between worlds that Roberto Escamilla-Garduño and Gio Solis have forged together in Los Angeles. Roberto brings 15 years of directing brand stories that find the human pulse beneath the surface—work that makes the invisible visible and gives perspectives outside the mainstream space to breathe. As an openly gay filmmaker, his narrative work creates room for voices that need amplification. Gio's documentary decade taught him how to transform raw moments into lasting truth. Our collaboration thrives on contrast—the precise intersection where different viewpoints create unexpected connections. In these juxtapositions of opposing elements, new realities emerge. When we collaborate with you, we're inviting you into our medicine wheel, where authentic human experiences transform into powerful messaging that remains distinctly human.

CREATING WITH PURPOSE

Our collaborative strength emerges from our complementary perspectives. We bring meticulous attention to narrative detail and world-building while maintaining the structural clarity that allows creative teams to flourish. This balance creates an environment where imagination and execution coexist harmoniously, bridging the gap between vision and reality.

Our work is guided by a commitment to equality, empowerment, and authentic representation. We see each project—whether commercial, narrative, or documentary—as an opportunity to amplify voices and stories often overlooked. This commitment shapes our creative approach from casting through final delivery, ensuring our work reflects the world as it truly is.

For over a decade, we've used our cameras as keys to accessing intimate moments with individuals and communities. This experience has sharpened our ability to create meaningful connections—whether helping marginalized communities tell their stories or connecting people with brands that genuinely enhance their lives.

CLIENT COLLABORATION

We view our relationship with clients and brands as a true creative partnership. By deeply listening and observing, we help actualize and visualize your mission with purpose and authenticity. We thrive being involved throughout the entire journey—from discovery to release—maintaining creative consistency while adapting to evolving needs.

Our approach fosters meaningful connections between brands and the communities they serve. By understanding both your core identity and the real needs of your audience, we create work that resonates on a deeper level, building relationships founded on value and trust rather than mere transactions. Your vision guides us, and together we transform concepts into impactful realities that remain distinctly human.
