Klaxon was founded in 2008 by Rafael Sampaio with the mission of contributing to the development of the audiovisual sector, through the organization of workshops, labs and exhibitions, and the production of its own audiovisual works. In its first years of activity, the company organized important exhibitions and film festivals, as well as workshops and labs in different formats, which lead up to the creation of BrLab in 2011.

Currently, the company has a diverse catalog of films produced and released in different countries, and various projects from Brazilian and international talents in different stages of development, funding and production. The company is also responsible for organizing BrLab, a relevant international audiovisual market and project development lab, among other initiatives.
