Laní Studios is a film production company that aims to be a global hub for authentic LGBTQ+ stories to get a chance to be told on the silver screen.
How did Laní Studios come to be?
Born from a necessity to create a space for fostering collaboration between directors and writers, Laní Studios was founded by Chanele Ramos and Laura Orwako. While this marks Chanele’s fourth entrepreneurial endeavor, establishing a production company presented her with a steep learning curve unlike any before.
Fortunately, Chanele’s ties to directors within the U.S. film industry provided her with invaluable insights, that not only sparked the start of Laní Studios, but also helped Chanele navigate its successful operation.
Why the name Laní Studios?
The name “Laní” holds significant meaning, signifying ‘heaven’ or ‘sky’ in Hawaiian. It also carries a personal touch as it forms the suffix of Chanele’s granddaughter’s name. This choice reflects the shared vision of Chanele and Laura for the company: to assure directors and writers collaborating with us that Laní Studios is committed to crafting impactful and sophisticated narratives, all while fostering innovation and inclusivity. Essentially, we want them to recognize that with Laní Studios, there is no limit, not even the sky! We will reach for heaven!
What is up next for Laní Studios?
Currently, Laní Studios is immersed in the production of Allure of the Siren: The Series, an adaptation of the Thai-based Boy love story derived from Chanele’s novel Allure of the Siren: Temptation, Deception and Redemption. The studio has partnered with BVP, a Thai production company to develop and produce the series.
Casting for on-screen roles has commenced, and further announcements will follow as production unfolds. Both Chanele and Laura will be actively involved on-site in Thailand throughout the development and production phases of the series.
Laní Studios is excited to present its first project, with many more to come. The studio is dedicated to bringing compelling narratives within the LGBTQ+ space to audiences worldwide. We aim to be a global hub for authentic storytelling that transcends cultural barriers, leaving a lasting impact in the world of entertainment.
