tranquilo is a creative filmmaking production house. An evolution from their preceding filmmaking body ¡FUEGO!, tranquilo creates work on film for the music video, narrative, and documentary formats.
tranquilo comprises Peruvian-Argentinian-French duo Pia Perez and Sylvain Chaussée (sylvainchaussee.com), along with a vibrant crew of impassioned and valued collaborators, all pushing the boundaries of artistic expression within the commercial realm to create honest, collaborative and inclusive images.
In 2020, they were the recipients of Prism Prize’s Lipsett Award, as a Canadian music video artist with an innovative approach to music video art. They have worked with a diverse array of international artists, and their combined body of work has received millions of streams online.
Their work celebrates the visual qualities inherent to the film image, while exploring the aesthetic possibilities of the medium. A finely honed practice devoted to analog film processes, allows them to utilize film stocks and processing techniques to achieve their unique style. They are based in Toronto.
