In March 2004, after we found a profound and unique name, YTINIFNI PICTURES was founded to develop, finance, produce, and distribute great films and TV series. Starting with not an extensive film and TV media hybrid fund and based out of a 1379-square-foot office in Los Angeles, California, we developed three films, produced two, financed four, and acquired seven films that first year. And now, years later, we've grown to nearly 53 employees and have offices worldwide (Hey LA! Good morning London!, Hola Bogota! Salut Paris! 你好 Shanghai, Hi Hong Kong! and こんにちは Japan!) As time passed, we grew and grew — and were even named one of the fastest-growing media companies in the US. With multiple portfolios and over 478 projects (and counting) YTINIFNI PICTURES has made a difference. YTINIFNI PICTURES networks with 184 territories globally and over 200,000 active buyers. Daily, we deal with significant and minor theater chain owners, every major and minor retailer and boutique buyer, and television, station, VOD, new media, and syndication acquisitions worldwide.

Vision Cine X is an AI-powered creative project management platform, initially focused on the film industry, designed to streamline production workflows and significantly reduce the labor costs that make up to 70% of blockbuster production budgets. By saving filmmakers several hours on busy work per day, Vision Cine X is removing the barriers to collaboration and helping creatives on focus what they do best: being creative. Film production teams, often comprised of freelancers, waste significant time on low-value tasks like synchronizing information across departments—particularly between logistical teams (Production) and creative teams (DoP, Directors, Art Department, etc.). Generic tools like Notion and Airtable require extensive customization and aren’t designed for the fast-paced, dynamic needs of film crews. This forces filmmakers to spend excessive time piecing together different tools and manually syncing information. Vision Cine X integrates all essential production tools into one platform, enabling teams to create, manage and share both logistical and creative assets seamlessly, with every element interconnected. It offers a customizable production bible that automatically syncs across departments and AI-enhanced automation that turns tasks taking 2-3 days into 5-minute processes—from script imports to scheduling.
