About Miralumo Films
Miralumo Films is an independent animation studio based in Curitiba, Brazil, producing computer animation and visual effects for advertising and original entertainment. Its work combines character animation, visual storytelling and production services for commercial campaigns, short films, feature development and children's programming.
Founded in 2015 under the working name Fish Films, the company consolidated its operations as Miralumo Films following its incorporation in January 2016. Its beginnings were closely connected to the development of Napo, an ambitious animated short supported by a State of Paraná cultural grant.
Animation from concept to final image
The studio provides an end-to-end 3D production pipeline, covering concept development, storyboarding, color scripting, character design and visual development through modeling, texturing, look development and rigging. Production capabilities include animation, layout, cloth and hair simulation, lighting, rendering and compositing. Creative consulting and pre-production services also encompass art direction and scriptwriting.
For brands and advertising agencies, Miralumo creates narrative-driven animated commercials and seasonal campaigns. Its commercial work includes Natal com Sabor de Saudade, also presented as Christmas with a Taste of Memories and There's Always Room for One More, for Vale Sul Shopping. Other projects include Takedown Legends and Follow Your Stars.
Original stories
Miralumo's original productions include Napo (2020), a dialogue-free short combining 3D and 2D animation to explore aging, Alzheimer's disease and bonds between generations. Its subsequent slate includes the animated short Areia (2024) and Lulumos, a musical preschool series that premiered on YouTube in late 2024.
The studio also develops feature-length projects, including Fish: The Sea Witch and Beware the Chicken. Across these formats, its activities span both commissioned animation production and the development of original intellectual property for film, episodic entertainment and digital audiences.

People and production model
Gustavo Ribeiro is identified as a partner and CEO/director, Thaís Fernanda Steff Peixe as a partner and executive producer, and Ivan Stephan Rude as a partner and technical/3D supervisor. Historical founding collaborators also included Gabriela Antonia Rosa and Daniel Freire. Production teams expand with freelance artists for major animated productions.
Training and community
The founders helped establish Escola Revolution to develop local digital artists when Curitiba had a limited pool of trained CGI talent. The initiative supported the development of crews for the studio's productions. Miralumo is also a member of BRAVI, Brasil Audiovisual Independente.
Recognition and reach
Napo screened at more than 100 international film festivals and received over 60 awards, including recognition at Animayo and Prix Jeunesse Iberoamericano.
