BraLab Features
Izaña Lab is designed by a team that faces the challenge of filmmaking daily, who understands that a film is the result of continuous trial and error processes. The entire process is, in reality, a laboratory, where the experiment is tested, analyzed and repeated. Each film is a prototype, and although we dream of replicating success stories, reality shows us that the way to position a product as unique as a cinematographic creation in the market requires inventing new formulas that fit each case.
