Agustina’s eyes lit up when she read the article. “We’ve just proven that stories from the streets can compete with the polished dramas from the big studios,” she told her team over a celebratory pizza. “Now we need to think bigger.” The success of Risas de Barrio sparked an influx of indie creators knocking on Pack Amate’s door, each with a unique voice and a yearning for a platform. Recognizing a market gap, Agustina and Mariano set out to build Pack Amate Media , an over‑the‑top (OTT) streaming service dedicated to showcasing original Latin American content—from short‑form web series to full‑length feature films and documentary specials.
Prologue: A Dream in Buenos Aires The summer of 2004 was a humid, electric August in Buenos Aires. The city’s streets pulsed with the rhythm of tango, the chatter of street vendors, and the constant hum of traffic that seemed to echo the heartbeat of a nation in transition. In a cramped second‑floor apartment overlooking the bustling Avenida Corrientes, a 23‑year‑old university student named Agustina Rey hunched over a battered laptop, her fingertips dancing across the keyboard as she typed the opening lines of a screenplay she’d been nursing for months.
By 2007, Agustina had saved enough to rent a modest office in the Palermo neighborhood and, together with three friends—, a sharp‑witted director; Sofía Calderón , a visual artist with a knack for branding; and Mariano “Mago” Torres , a tech wizard who could code a streaming platform in his sleep—she founded Pack Amate Entertainment .

A watershed moment arrived in 2023 when announced a co‑production partnership with Pack Amate for a multilingual thriller titled Eco de la Sombra (Echo of the Shadow). The series, starring a diverse ensemble cast from Argentina, Brazil, and the United States, explored climate activism, corporate espionage, and the power of grassroots movements.
In addition, Pack Amate organized a series of —screenwriting classes, cinematography tutorials, and mental‑health talks—free for anyone with an internet connection. The workshops attracted over 500,000 participants worldwide, cementing Pack Amate’s reputation not just as an entertainment provider but as a catalyst for creative education. Chapter 7: The Global Stage – From Buenos Aires to Hollywood By 2022, Pack Amate’s catalogue boasted over 300 original titles, ranging from high‑budget dramas to experimental short films.

And so, as the sun sets over the Río de la Plata and the city’s lights flicker on, the screen in a small living room in Rosario glows with the latest Pack Amate original—a tale of love, loss, and redemption. Somewhere, Agustina watches that same scene, a soft smile crossing her lips, knowing that the story she started all those years ago is still being written—by countless voices, across countless screens—forever moving, forever alive.
The story she was writing was not about love or war; it was about a young woman from a modest barrio who discovers a hidden talent for making people laugh. It was a comedy‑drama that would later become the seed of something far larger: a new kind of media company that would challenge the status quo of Argentine entertainment. After graduating with a degree in Communications, Agustina took a job as a production assistant at a local television station. The work was grueling—long hours, low pay, endless coffee—but it offered her a backstage pass to the world she’d always wanted to shape. She learned how sets were built, how editors coaxed stories out of raw footage, and most importantly, how decisions were made about which stories got airtime.

The partnership opened doors to new talent, higher production budgets, and access to world‑class post‑production facilities. Pack Amate’s next flagship series, (Crossed Paths), was a transnational drama that interwove the lives of a Buenos Aires street musician, a Mexican migrant farmworker, and a Chilean tech entrepreneur. The series explored themes of identity, displacement, and hope, resonating deeply with diaspora communities across the Americas.
By early 2011, the beta version of the platform launched under the modest name The inaugural catalogue featured five original productions: Risas de Barrio (Season 2), Café con Letras (a literary talk show), Los Sueños del Lobo (a gritty crime drama), Mujeres en Llamas (a documentary about female entrepreneurs), and El Último Tango (a musical romance).
