Timeline

2000

In 2000, his son, John E. Viguié, redirects the company towards film production and changes the name back to Viguié Films. John went on to produce numerous high-end television commercials, along with two full-length feature films in co-production with Spain; “Agua con Sal” (2005) and “La Mala” (2008).

1996

In 1996 Juan E. Viguié Jr. retires and leaves an indelible mark in history as an instrumental element in the development of the film industry in Puerto Rico.

1990

With the advent of personal computers in the early 1990s, the company transitioned to digital technology. He started producing interactive CD-ROMs and DVDs, web pages, computer graphics, and digital photography, and compressed videos in the presentations.

1971

As the companies continued to flourish, in 1971, Telemundo, a local media conglomerate founded by Angel Ramos and owner of WKAQ radio, WKAQ Channel 2 Television, and El Mundo newspaper, made an offer to acquire the organization. Juan sells Viguié Film Productions and Viguié-Guastella to Telemundo, who then changes the name to Creative Films. As part of the contractual transaction, Juan signed a ten-year non-competition agreement preventing him from establishing a new film studio that could compete with Creative Films. When his son John returned from New York in 1975, where he studied cinematography at NYU, Juan started a new enterprise; Viguié Multimedia. The new company produces Epcot-like audio-visual presentations, consisting of projecting significant quantities of simultaneous still images onto huge screens, synchronized to a captivating soundtrack with narrative. The images were beamed to the screens through a vast array of Kodak 35mm slide projectors, sometimes up to more than 30, all controlled and programmed with the analog computers available at the time. Multimedia presentations proved to be an innovative and effective way of storytelling and became extremely popular at a worldwide level. Viguié Multimedia became the first and largest multimedia company on the Island and soon moved into a new 10,000 sq. ft. facility in the heart of Hato Rey, complete with photographic studios, film developing laboratory, two small theaters, sound studio, and camera equipment to produce special visual effects.

1963

In 1963, Juan incorporated a second production facility with Roberto and Marino Guastella, two brothers who had recently immigrated from Cuba. The new company is named Viguié-Guastella and has its separate facilities and personnel.

1954

With hardly any experienced crew available at the time, for many years, Viguié Film Productions, Inc. became a training ground and incubator of new talent in the emerging field of cinematography on the Island. With modern, efficient facilities and an experienced crew, "El Noticiero Viguié" turns into a weekly newsreel and shows in New York and other major cities with Hispanic communities across the US. Though his original intent on building the studio was to produce feature films when television arrived in Puerto Rico in 1954, the increased workload required him to place it on hold. Viguié Films starts to air the first news program that incorporates film footage and sound interviews in its newsfeed.

1950

Juan Emilio Viguié Jr was a Puerto Rican producer and entrepreneur credited with the development of the film industry as an enterprise in Puerto Rico in the early 1950s. During a career that spanned over five decades, Viguié Jr. produced, directed, and photographed short films, documentaries, and television commercials for the local and mainland US markets.

In 1950, during the Nationalist revolt known as the Jayuya Uprising, Juan borrowed a 35mm Arriflex camera. He rushed to Jayuya, PR, where he filmed the insurgency and the brutal counterattack by the armed forces. He exhibits the footage across the Island's theaters and soon decides to establish his newsreel which he names "El Noticiero Viguié."

1946

After serving in the United States Army, Viguié Jr received his honorable discharge in 1946. He establishes Puerto Rico Industrial Photography in San Juan and dedicates to advertising and commercial photography.

1923

Born April 4, 1923, in the Island's southern city of Ponce, he is the eldest son of Puerto Rican film pioneer Juan Emilio Viguié Cajas, who among many other accomplishments in the film industry, also produced, directed and photographed “Romance Tropical” (1934), the Island's first full-length feature film with sound and the second Spanish language film with sound in the world.
