About Us
Welcome to Kenshō Pictures
We take pride in our ability to develop award-winning, original films and TV shows. Our diverse slate includes arthouse, auteur-driven drama combined with legal thrillers and action/heist movies.

We position every title for both cultural impact and commercial success.
Why Kenshō?
Kenshō is a Zen Buddhist concept meaning “seeing one’s true nature.” It is the first moment of realization that there is more to life and to ourselves than we had thought.
At Kenshō Pictures, we carry this spirit into our films, crafting stories that ask the timeless questions: Who are we? Why are we here? What lies beyond what we think we know? We seek not just to entertain, but to spark that Kenshō realization in audiences around the world.
Octavio Trillos
Founder/CEO - Lawyer
Octavio Trillos is a lawyer, screenwriter and novelist from Venezuela. He currently resides in Montreal, Canada. He practiced Corporate and Criminal Law for five years before devoting himself fully to studying cinema, specializing in screenwriting and film production. As a writer, Octavio has managed to add value to people's lives, but in a much more global way than when he practiced as a lawyer. He won an award in Italy from the Veneto Film Commission for his original screenplay, “The Weight of the Air”, and another award from Canada Media Fund for his originial TV series “Oden’s Law”. These industry recognitions showcase his ability and talent not only to create and write compelling stories, but also as a producer to bring complex projects to life that are highly challenging.
