The studio

We film the people, places and culture that make a brand worth watching.

Arte i Kultura is a Curaçao film studio led by Joshua Ortega. We plan every shoot, light every frame and cut every story with the audience in mind.

The result is work that holds up on a phone in a feed and on a big screen at a premiere.

Hello, I'm

Joshua Ortega

Director, filmmaker & founder of Arte i Kultura

Every person, every business and every corner of this island has a story worth seeing.

My job is to make the world stop and watch it. I built Arte i Kultura to give brands and creators in Curaçao the kind of films you usually only see from big agencies: cinematic, honest and made with real heart.

From a barber's first line-up to a festival at midnight, I chase the moments that make people feel something. When you work with me, you get a partner who cares about your story as much as you do, from the first idea to the final frame.
