A Visual Crossroads of the Americas

Panama is a cinematic “triple threat,” offering hyper-modern metropolitan skylines, 16th-century colonial history in Casco Viejo, and untouched tropical archipelagoes. Its unique geography allows it to double for diverse global locations—from Miami and Dubai to the Amazon—all while operating in a US Dollar-based economy with world-class connectivity.

The Production Reality & Costa Rican Support: While Panama is a veteran host to major franchises (from James Bond’s Quantum of Solace to The Suicide Squad), its local specialized equipment pool can be boutique for high-demand periods. We solve this by utilizing our established team and resources in Costa Rica:

Technical Reinforcement: We treat our Costa Rican hub as a primary technical reserve. For high-end TVCs and features, we move specialized “A-list” camera, lighting, and grip packages across the border via established land and air corridors. This ensures your DP has access to the region’s best tech without the premium “import-only” price tag.

Legacy Expertise: Our Costa Rican crew members are veterans of the region’s most challenging terrain. We augment local Panamanian teams with specialized HODs—location managers, safety divers, and drone pilots—who are accustomed to the logistical flow of Central American cross-border shoots.

Incentive Framework: Panama remains highly competitive with a 25% Cash Rebate on all qualifying local spend for scripted narrative, reality and commercial projects.

Our Role: We provide a unified Central American production spine. By leveraging our Costa Rican office to fill technical gaps and manage the cross-border logistics, we offer you the creative scale of Panama’s diverse locations with the deep resource security of the region’s most established film market.
