Why shooting in Colombia?
Thanks to the film law signed in 2003, Colombian cinema has grown exponentially and with it, the diversity of stories that we get to see on the screens, allowing us not only to know our culture in greater depth, but also showing the world the great talent that exists in our country.
Due to its privileged location, Colombia has a tropical climate without seasons, which not only makes it the most biodiverse country in the world, but also a location with multiple landscapes and scenery such as beaches, moors, jungles or deserts, at very close distances from the cities.
