Who We Are
About Lolico
Love, Light and Compassion.
Our Story
Creative work should mean something
Lolico Productions grew from a simple belief: creative work should do more than look good. It should mean something.
The name Lolico comes from Love, Light and Compassion — three principles that guide both the work we create and the way we create it. They don’t dictate a particular style, subject or audience. They remind us that behind every production is a human being trying to communicate something to another human being.
Lolico was built from decades of experience across music, television, film, live production, digital media and storytelling. Instead of separating those disciplines, we bring them together. A project might begin as a conversation, become a script, require original music, move onto a stage or a set, and ultimately live across screens and platforms. We understand the entire journey.
Our work ranges from intimate interviews and branded content to television programming, cultural events, music production and large-scale live experiences. What connects them isn’t the format. It’s the intention: find the heart of the idea and build the right experience around it.
Because ultimately, we’re not interested in creating more content just because the world has room for another video. We want to create work worth somebody’s attention.
Our Mission
Lolico exists to transform meaningful ideas into stories and experiences that connect people.
We combine creativity, craft and technology with a human-centered approach built around Love, Light and Compassion — not only in what we create, but in how we work with the people who trust us to create it.
Founder & Creative Director
Rev. Tuto Taveras
Rev. Tuto Taveras is a multidisciplinary producer, director, filmmaker, composer and creative strategist whose career spans more than three decades across music production, television, film, live events and digital media.
His background combines both creative and technical disciplines, with studies in Music Production & Engineering, Digital Cinematography and Digital Marketing. That combination has shaped his approach to production: understanding not only how to make something beautiful, but how storytelling, sound, technology, audience and strategy work together.
His work has included television and digital series, documentaries and interviews, branded content, original music, live performances, conferences and large-scale cultural productions. He has also served as Director of Content Creation at the United Palace in New York City, developing media and storytelling for one of Manhattan’s landmark cultural venues.
As an ordained minister and author, Tuto’s understanding of storytelling also extends beyond entertainment. His work frequently explores identity, purpose, community and transformation — while remaining grounded in the practical realities of producing work that must connect with real audiences.
At Lolico, he leads projects from the initial idea through creative development, production and final execution.
How We Work
A project-based collaborative model
Rather than maintaining an oversized permanent crew, we assemble the right creative and technical team for each production — including cinematographers, camera operators, audio engineers, editors, designers, musicians, performers, stage technicians and production specialists.
This allows Lolico to scale from an intimate production to a major live experience while keeping the creative team appropriate to the project.

The Difference
What makes Lolico different
Most production companies begin by asking what you want us to shoot.
We prefer to begin with what you’re trying to say.
Because Lolico works across storytelling, film, music, live production and digital media, we’re not tied to a single medium or formula. We can look at the idea first and determine what it actually needs — then assemble the people, technology and creative tools necessary to bring it to life.
And throughout that process, one principle remains constant:
