Brazil

Home to City of God, Central Station, I’m Still Here, and many others, Brazil offers a vast spectrum of versatility: you can film in a global city like São Paulo, with 21 million people, and then fly to the Amazon rainforest, the largest in the world, and still be in the same country. This is the perfect place to find diverse casting, due to the immense racial mix, and also scenic beauty, as its territory incorporates colonial, modern, and contemporary architecture – proof that there’s more to Brazil than soccer and carnival.

With a five-times higher exchange rate than the US dollar, the Brazilian currency optimizes any production budget. Combined with its film and television infrastructure, the country stands out for its ability to fit any script and still create a singular visual.
