Las principales actividades de EL DESPACHO son:
- Desarrollo y producción de pelÃculas y documentales

EL DESPACHO cree que el audiovisual es una herramienta que propicia habilidades creativas y sociales para tener conciencia de la dramaturgia del mundo y la complejidad de cada ser humano. Más que aspectos técnicos, enfatizamos el desarrollo de la sensibilidad que nos permita estar y sentirnos conectados con el tejido social y la vida a nuestro alrededor.
