Film - Costa Rica Production Services

Costa Rica is a remarkable destination for film, video and photoshoots. As a tropical destination, Costa Rica offers an incredible amount of diversity in a country the size of West Virginia. Solitary beaches, majestic volcanoes, lush rain forest, and spectacular waterfalls are all easily accessible. Costa Rica's long tradition in eco-tourism and conservation has promoted the development of an impressive amount of hotel infrastructure in rural areas making it easy to access and work in remote areas of the country that offer the natural and preserved locations that filmmakers and productions seek in a tropical location.

It worked for directors Ridley Scott, Frank Marshall and Robert Rodriguez in their search for New World locations, the Congo, and a tropical paradise. Costa Rica can easily be labeled the best tropical film location closest to the United States facilitating inexpensive travel for crew and equipment as opposed to going further south or to Asia.

Although Costa Rica has no formal film commission the government, through several different agencies, has always been very supportive of film activities and production in Costa Rica. Non-union Costa Rican film crews, no minimums on foreign crews, competitive rates on rooms, and easy international access offered by all major US airline carriers make Costa Rica a location destination you should consider for your next film and stills project.
