Use the Right Filters for Your Needs

Want to find a post house in Manila that’s worked on drama series for streamers? You need more than Google. Use filters like:

  • Region & Country targeting
  • Content genre specialization
  • Service categories (e.g., VFX, dubbing, grading)
  • Ownership type (indie, corporate, network-owned)

This ensures you’re comparing apples to apples — and not wasting time.

Check for Track Records and Market Credibility

The best predictor of future performance? Past partnerships. Check for:

  • Notable collaborations (e.g., with Netflix, Warner, Globo)
  • Project history (genre, scale, region)
  • Reputation metrics — client reviews, awards, deal mentions

Bonus tip: Read Vitrina’s Globo Brazil case study to see how major players do it.
