Various locations

Uruguay: a strategic location to film the world in a single country.

The territory

A small country with an extraordinary diversity of landscapes: Atlantic and Río de la Plata coasts, endless prairies, mountain ranges, palm groves, dunes and urban centers that coexist within a few hours of each other.

Short distances, safety, stability, and a local team with in-depth knowledge of the terrain and its incentives. From modern Montevideo to the colonial tranquility of the interior, Everything can be done in a single day of filming.

Montevideo

City / eclectic architecture

A capital city that blends art deco, rationalism, and modernity along the world's longest waterfront promenade. Wide avenues, markets, rooftops, and neighborhoods that could easily be mistaken for any Latin American or European metropolis, depending on the artistic direction.
