Almost any location imaginable, highly qualified professionals, filming equipment tailored to the needs of the creative idea, multi-ethnic casting, and, above all, a warm and open culture, are what keep our clients coming back to Colombia time and time again.

Let's explore Colombia

Colombia is a Regional Leader in The Audiovisual Industry Market

In recent years, the industry has enjoyed international recognition, with productions winning Oscar nominations (such as Embrace of the Serpent), awards at the Sundance Film Festival (for Real Women Have Curves), and accolades at the Cannes Film Festival (including the Jury Prize, Palme d'Or, and Caméra d'Or for Memoria, Leidy, and La Tierra y la Sombra, respectively).

Moreover, the film industry has experienced exponential growth. Productions in advertising, music videos, and television series now reflect the talent and professional experience that, supported by favorable incentives, attract foreign investment and have, in turn, strengthened national production in recent years.

It is no surprise that Colombia’s capital, Bogota, has been chosen as the LATAM headquarters for Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney, and Apple TV. This decision demonstrates that Colombia not only offers some of the best human talent available but also provides the necessary economic, logistical, and location conditions for large productions and crews.

Colombia's Exponential Growth in Production Services

The growth is clearly reflected in the films shot in Colombia in recent years, including Mile 22, Los 33, American Made, Gemini Man, Jungle, Triple Frontier, and the series Narcos and Green Frontier, among others.

Professionals such as ADs, art directors, SFX makeup artists, and prosthetists, among many others, are part of the more than 5,300 people in the audiovisual industry. These professionals have been in high demand due to the trust international clients place in them, as they seek the best results at affordable prices.

Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, Eje Cafetero, and San Andres are the cities that offer almost all the necessary locations for any kind of project. With daily direct flights to and from major cities in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe, Bogota is the Colombian capital and the center of production operations nationwide.

The city is home to the main production studios, the two largest rental houses in Latin America, and all types of locations such as modern, English, and colonial architecture, forests, lagoons, and sports complexes, among others. Medellin offers locations similar to those in Bogota but is also close to magical colonial towns and the Peñol-Guatapé reservoir.

From Tropical Islands to Coffee Farms

On the other hand, the Eje Cafetero boasts countless coffee farms, hot springs, nature, and palm trees that reach 60 meters high in the Cocora Valley. Additionally, Cartagena de Indias, the walled city, showcases colonial architecture that could replicate any city in the Caribbean. Furthermore, pristine beaches await you on San Andres Island, along with corals and an underwater shipwreck.

These destinations not only offer the best locations for projects but also feature top international hotel chains, a diverse gastronomic scene, and a wide range of cultural offerings, including museums, theaters, shopping centers, and, of course, coffee shops. It’s no wonder that Colombia is not only a must-visit destination but also one you’ll want to return to time and time again.
