CountryIn Uruguay it is possible to complete almost any film project.
Uruguay's only land border is with Brazil, to the north. To the west lie the Uruguay River and to the southwest lies the estuary of Río de la Plata with Argentina only a short commute across the banks of either of these bodies of water, while to the southeast lies the southern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Uruguay, with an area of approximately 176,000 square kilometres (68,000 sq mi), is the second-smallest nation of South America.
With its small territory , and reduced population size (3 million people) Uruguay does not have any traffic problems; the largest distance crossing the country is approximately 450 km, lowering transportation costs and travel allowances for the crew.
Uruguayans are extremely friendly, proud and welcoming people, open to the exterior world, very cultured, educated and love to share their traditions and heritage with visitors.
We have a staff and crew of experienced professionals, with a wide knowledge of the region and a great repertoire of locations as well as a great ethnic diversity to fulfill the expectations of any casting. This allows us a wide scale of coverage.
