View ProductionMariano Casaca is a Buenos Aires-based filmmaker who built a full-service production house from a single camera and a relentless eye for light. 150+ productions later, the philosophy hasn't changed: every frame is a decision.
Brand films shot on mobile that outperform studio productions. Colour grades that make cheap cameras look cinematic. Coaching sessions that change how filmmakers see — not just how they shoot.
Every LUT, preset, and SFX pack was built during a real shoot. Not in a lab — on location, under pressure, for clients who expected cinematic.
Every asset you buy lives in your personal Creative Vault. A private, permanent library — no subscriptions, no re-purchasing. Access it anywhere, anytime.
"The Cinematic Noir LUT pack changed how I approach colour. I dropped it on S-Log3 footage and it looked like a cinema release. These aren't template presets — they're production tools."
"Urban Cinematic SFX is the only SFX pack I've used that doesn't sound royalty-free. My clients kept asking which sound house I was using. The answer was a $19 pack from Casaca Films."
"Bought the Complete Bundle on a Friday. Shot a client campaign that weekend. The client thought I'd hired a colourist. I'll never go back to generic packs."
Private 1-on-1 sessions built around your footage and your goals. Not a course. Not a template. A real filmmaker reviewing your real work.

"One session with Mariano undid three years of bad habits. He watched 12 minutes of my footage and diagnosed exactly what was wrong — before I even finished explaining the problem."
"The pre-session footage upload is a game changer. Mariano came in prepared — he'd already identified three specific shots to discuss. No warm-up, no filler. 90 minutes of pure learning."
"I'm on month three of the monthly package. My cinematography reel now gets responses from brands. I went from hobbyist to professional in 12 sessions. The investment paid for itself in the first client."
