    Dear Marie,
    I know you asked for a South American country but if you’re still on the lookout, it doesn’t get any better than Mexico. Our country has been hosting international productions (small, big and huge) since the beginning of the film industry. We are home to one of the best crews in the world, people who have trained with the best filmmakers (Houston, Peckinpah, Cameron, Spielberg, Stone, etc); we are famous for our variety on locations (we are the 4th biodiversity in the world); we have film studios, independent sound stages, film labs, film stock and the latest in equipment. We are a one-stop shop. Plus, we offer fiscal and financial incentives that could give a production up to 17.5% in cash rebates.
    I suggest you check our website for more information http://www.comefilm.gob.mx
    We have a version in English and photo albums of locations in Flickr, as well as presence in Facebook and Twitter.
    For further details, do no hesitate to contact us at locations.mexico@imcine.gob.mx

    Sincerely,

    Carla Raygoza
    Coordinator
    Mexican Film Commission

    in reply to: Looking for Location to Shoot

    Hello,
    I’m the coordinator of the Mexican Film Commission and I’d like to suggest you turn your eyes to our country. Not only do we have the type of people you’re looking for your casting (both European and Latino) but we have all the production services your production needs as well as plenty of bilingual, talented and experienced crew. And let’s not forget about the locations. For the specific location you’re requesting, we’d need a bit more information to start looking. Please get in touch with us locations.mexico@imcine.gob.mx
    The production might be also interested to know about our latest financial film incentive that comes in the form of a cash rebate.

    Best regards,

    Carla Raygoza
    Coordinator
    Mexican Film Commission

    I’m the coordinator of the Mexican Film Commission. We’ve sent this information out to producers who live and work in the Mexican border. You may have already been contacted by some of them. Let me know if you haven’t found what you’re looking for. Our email address is locations.mexico@imcine.gob.mx

    Regards,

    Carla Raygoza

    in reply to: Beautiful Contemp Luxury resort needed

    Hello from the Mexican Film Commission. I see you already got some replies from experienced Mexican producers. I’m sure they could help you find the perfect location for the shoot.

    From our behalf, here are samples of what we can get you in our beautiful Mexican beaches. We trust you’ll love them!

    in reply to: Cannelloni Western

    We are the Mexican Film Commission and would like to offer our assistance in finding the perfect location for your film.

    These images are just a sample of what you can find in Mexico, particularly Durango, where several of the original John Wayne and Sam Pekinpah Westerns were shot. The State is also well known for the quantity and quality of its Movie Trained Horses and Horsemen.The capital city of Durango offers a soundstage FREE of charge. This space was conditioned for the soon to be released feature film Dragonball and remains a part of the state’s incentive program to attract film productions. Another advantage is that depending on how the location is showcased, the state government offers different incentives that make it very attractive for film productions to shoot there.

    At the country level, all foreign film productions may obtain the reimbursement of the 15% VAT.

    Below is our contact information; we hope to hear from you soon.
