Costa Rica is a remarkable destination for film, video and photoshoots. As a tropical destination, Costa Rica offers an incredible amount of diversity in a country the size of West Virginia. Solitary beaches, majestic volcanoes, lush rain forest, and spectacular waterfalls are all easily accessible. Costa Rica's long tradition in eco-tourism and conservation has promoted the development of an impressive amount of hotel infrastructure in rural areas making it easy to access and work in remote areas of the country that offer the natural and preserved locations that filmmakers and photo productions seek in a tropical location. It worked for directors Ridley Scott, Frank Marshall and Robert Rodriguez in their search for locations that served as New World, the Congo, and a tropical paradise. Costa Rica can easily be labeled the best tropical film and photography location closest to the United States facilitating, safe inexpensive travel for crew and equipment as opposed to going further south or to Asia. Although Costa Rica has no formal film commission the government, through several different agencies, has always been very supportive of film activities and photo production in Costa Rica. Non-union Costa Rican film crews, no minimums on foreign crews, competitive rates on rooms, and easy international access offered by all major US airline carriers make Costa Rica a location destination you should consider for your next film and stills project. Producciones Tierra Verde S.A. is currently the only production service company granted Free Trade Zone status in Costa Rica providing several tax and customs benefits to productions independent of their size or type of production, including: no sales taxes, currently 13%, on goods and services at the point of purchase, including hotels and catering, total tax exemption on the importation of materials and supplies required for a production, expedited customs for the temporary importation of equipment and full exemption of customs bonds. |
