A Historic Name Begins a New Chapter
Grand National Films™ is being developed as a contemporary independent motion-picture studio with a classic soul — devoted to cinematic identity, restored cinema, original productions, music, atmosphere and international presentation.
The Studio
Grand National Films is a contemporary independent studio venture built around a timeless principle: a motion-picture company should possess a voice, an image, a musical signature and a sense of occasion before the first scene begins.
The revived Grand National Films banner is being shaped for original productions, curated archive presentations, restored classic cinema, international releases and film-history material created for a modern audience.
This is not a claim to operate as the original 1930s corporation. It is a new artistic and commercial chapter: a modern studio identity inspired by Hollywood’s independent past and designed for today’s production, restoration and distribution landscape.
What We Do
Osvaldo Chiri / Oz Chiri
Grand National Films was revived by Osvaldo Chiri — professionally known as Oz Chiri — as a contemporary studio venture shaped by a lifelong devotion to cinema, music, visual identity and the mythology of the screen. His creative background spans recording, production, composition, independent media, studio development and the presentation of classic film culture for new audiences.
As founder of Tarot Records, Salamanca Studios and Blue Embrace — and through his successful solo career as Oz Chiri — he has built a body of work rooted in atmosphere, authorship, sound and image. Those disciplines form the foundation of Grand National Films: a studio identity where music, design, storytelling and presentation are treated as inseparable parts of the motion-picture experience.
With Grand National Films, Chiri is not attempting to imitate the past. He is shaping a modern independent studio with a classic soul — uniting restored cinema, original productions, film history, music, design and international distribution under one cinematic banner.
Studio Direction
Grand National Films is being structured around identity, restoration, production and audience connection.
Classic Identity
The clock-tower identity, Art Deco design, dark-gold palette and theatrical presentation are intended to make every release feel like part of a real studio world.
Archive Work
The archive division focuses on classic films, restored presentations, bilingual access, contextual notes and careful release packaging.
New Pictures
Original productions will focus on strong atmosphere, genre storytelling, film-history pieces, trailers, featurettes and eventually full motion pictures.
The Clock Returns
Grand National Films is built around the belief that a studio name should carry more than credit. It should suggest atmosphere, authorship, memory, music, taste, design and expectation.
The mission is to bring the feeling of lost Hollywood into the present — not as imitation, but as a refined independent studio identity with respect for the past and ambition for the future.
