Mucho Mas Media is an independent multimedia company founded in 2017 by Javier Chapa and Simon Wise. The firm develops, finances, produces, and distributes film and television content with a particular focus on stories from Latino communities for global audiences. Based in Los Angeles and London, the company aims to serve what it identifies as an underserved Latinx market with culturally meaningful and high-concept content.
Founder Javier Chapa's journey into film began while training military extras for the movie *Courage Under Fire*. This experience inspired the law school graduate to move to Los Angeles and pursue projects that celebrate his Latino culture. His debut feature, *Harvest of Redemption*, was a bilingual film depicting the struggles of migrant farm workers. Mucho Mas Media's business model revolves around producing and distributing content through various channels, including streaming services and theatrical releases. The company generates revenue through film distribution and production agreements. It has partnered with distributors like Corazón Films for releases in Latin America and has a U.S. distribution arm, Mucho Mas Releasing.
The company's portfolio includes a range of genres, with a notable presence in horror and comedy. Significant productions include *Blue Miracle* (2021) starring Dennis Quaid, which was ranked #2 worldwide on Netflix upon its release, the shark thriller *The Black Demon* (2023), and *The Long Game* (2024), which won the Audience Award at SXSW in 2023. The studio is also behind an upcoming biopic on the late singer Jenni Rivera and a remake of *La Bamba* in partnership with Sony Pictures. In addition to film and TV, the company has expanded into other media, including a comic book division called Chispa Comics and a talent management arm, Inclusion Management.
