Colombia

Colombia is the most underrated production destination of these days. Drug and guerrilla related stories are much more popular than social and economic achievements. Even though the crime rate dropped considerably and security measures are taken throughout the whole country, the bad image still lingers. But a country twice as big as France has it´s well sheltered areas, which are looked upon as Colombia´s window to the world. One of these areas is the Caribbean coast with Cartagena as its “Capital” and a UNESCO World Heritage site. And Cartagena has it all, great beaches, white sands, a historical old town that plays in one league with Havana. Modern neighborhoods boast mansions, skyscrapers and office buildings and round off a location destination that has still to be discovered by the international photo community. Meanwhile film productions have made their arrival over the last 40 years from Marlon Brando in “Burn” (1969), which Brando would later claim as his personal favorite, over “Mission” with Robert de Niro and Jeremy Irons (1986) to “Love in the Time of Cholera” (dir. F.F. Coppola, starring Javier Bardem). Modestly we can claim that the 7 Seas i.e. Two Brothers Productions team has been on set and location scouting on all bigger productions for the last 20 years. A couple of years ago Colombia created a film commission that made all temporary imports much easier and which earned Colombia the status “film friendly”. There is still some paper work left, but 7 Seas takes care of it all. We take you by the hand and guide you through one of the most beautiful Caribbean cities; we provide equipment from Bogotá, Castings from Medellin, crew from the Seven Seas… and the spirit of Colombia.
