North & Central America
Arctic to tropics, with short flights between them.
Southwestern and northern Mexican desert, Pacific and Caribbean beach, Art Deco Miami, New York streets, Canadian mountains and lakes, and rainforest, volcanoes and colonial towns through Central America. Arctic to tropics, with short flights between them, and a US contracting and insurance framework that a client can rely on while the shoot happens across the border.
Belize
Barrier reef, cayes and jungle, with English as the working language — a practical advantage for crews travelling from the US or UK.
Canada
Mountains, lakes and clean modern cities, with a mature crew base used to international productions and long-standing incentive programmes. Casting is one of the most diverse anywhere, so a single market can cover almost any brief without flying talent in.
Costa Rica
Pacific and Caribbean coast on the same shooting day, with rainforest, volcanoes and cloud forest in between. One of the highest concentrations of biodiversity on the planet, a short flight from Miami.
El Salvador
Volcanic landscape and Pacific surf coast in a country small enough to cross in a morning, which keeps unit moves cheap.
Guatemala
Antigua's colonial architecture, Lake Atitlán and Mayan sites, with volcanoes standing over all of it. Dense colour and texture inside short distances.
Honduras
Caribbean islands, colonial towns and mountain interior, generally uncrowded by other productions.
Mexico
The most complete service market in the region: crews, equipment and studios at scale, plus desert, colonial city, jungle and both coasts. Doubles for the US Southwest at a very different cost.
Nicaragua
Granada's colonial streets, volcanic lakes and long Pacific beaches, with low location competition.
Panama
A logistics hub as much as a location: the best-connected airport in the region, plus canal, skyline and rainforest inside one metropolitan area.
United States
Domestic contracting and US insurance, with six distinct production markets inside one country.
- New YorkStreet, brownstone and subway that cannot be faked anywhere else, four real seasons, and the second deepest crew base in the country.
- Los AngelesThe largest crew and equipment base in the world, with ocean, desert, mountain and stage all inside two hours.
- Miami and FloridaBeach, Art Deco and Latin-facing casting, with a short flight to the Caribbean and Latin America. State film sales tax incentives go a long way on smaller productions.
- SouthwestMonument Valley, canyon country and Las Vegas across Arizona, Utah and Nevada — the American landscape the whole world recognises.
- The SouthGeorgia and Louisiana carry the most aggressive incentives in the country, with the Atlanta stages and period architecture still standing.
- Northwest and the RockiesForest, snow and mountain range for anything that needs closed nature and hard weather without leaving the US time zones.
