Filming in Colombia? If you're looking for a Colombia film production company to execute your project in your native language with no fuss and maximum style and creativity, then look no further than WhereNext.

Here are the reasons why our clients have told us that WhereNext is the top film production company in Colombia.

· We’re a multilingual and multicultural team

The WhereNext team is diverse and international, bringing a wealth of unique perspectives to our projects. We offer both Colombian and expat producers, directors, videographers, editors, and fixers, and world-class field and pre-production support in seven different languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, and Portuguese.

· We eat, sleep and breath Colombia

Colombia is made up of 32 distinct regions, known as departments. There are jungles, Andean peaks, Pacific and Caribbean coastline, deserts, plains, and cosmopolitan cities. At WhereNext, we don't just focus our energy on one location: as a team, we have worked in every single one of those 32 departments and have an in-depth, local's knowledge of all of them, as well as a massive network of contacts. Why are we the best Colombia film production company? Simple: we know Colombia better than anyone. And we are always exploring new regions of the country as they open up to film production companies. We can offer you a continually growing list of locations beyond the well-trodden sites.

· Our work is as diverse and creative as our team

Our Colombia film production showreel isn't limited to one style or subject matter. We have worked on productions about cycling, climbing, birding, kite-surfing, whitewater rafting, philanthropic activities, solar power initiatives, educational projects, tourism, the former Colombian conflict, and much more. How are we able to create such high-quality work on such a range of unique topics? Easy: we bring the same level of creativity, passion, dedication, and enjoyment to every story we tell, and that's always reflected in the final productions.

· We deliver every asset you need… and more

Our Colombia film production company always goes above and beyond for our clients. We don't just produce world-class video content; we also offer integrated marketing strategies, pre- and post-production services, and photography. For example, ProColombia chose us to produce a feature-length documentary about birding in Colombia, even though we'd never made a film about birds before. Why? Because we went above and beyond the brief and forged alliances with eBird and Audubon to work on conservation initiatives, delivered an original soundtrack album made by Colombian musicians, organized press trips to promote Colombia as a world-class birding destination, and much more.

· We’re a dynamic team of adventurers and explorers

The WhereNext life is all about pushing your limits, exploring, and going beyond the normal to discover new experiences. And we don't just live the WhereNext life at work; our team is living it 24/7 outside of the office as well. Ask a WhereNexter what they did over the weekend and you'll never hear "nothing." We went bouldering, cycled up a mountain, kayaked a river, trekked through the jungle, identified a new bird... We are a dynamic team of cyclists, climbers, backpackers, surfers, adventure travelers, birders, slackliners, and thrill-seekers, and this is reflected in our ability to produce high-quality video in even the harshest conditions, all with big grins on our faces. Whether it's shooting in the jungle heat surrounded by mosquitoes or rafting down Class 5 rapids, camera in hand, WhereNext has got it covered.

· We’ve worked with some of the biggest global brands on location in Colombia

Our list of production credits in Colombia is long and varied, and we've worked on location across the country with brands like Columbia Sportswear, Canva, Scott Sports, Cat Footwear, World Nomads, Autel Robotics, and even the Colombian government. With nothing but excellent feedback from these industry-leading brands, we have a proven track record of world-class video production in Colombia.

· Our Colombia production chops are second to none—and we know the law

When it comes to video production in Colombia, WhereNext's knowledge of Colombian filming laws, work permits, importation of camera equipment, and local labor laws is second to none. All of our local staff and suppliers are fully insured, tax-paying employees in a country where informal employment is common. But we refuse to cut corners. It can often be hard to find local suppliers and staff with the appropriate paperwork, but our experience means that we can always find the right people with no fuss or delays. For example, by law in Colombia, independent contractors are required to pre-pay tax and show legal certification of health care coverage before initiating work. However, the industry is relaxed by nature, and under-the-table payments are all too common. If a contractor is injured on the job or decides to pursue legal action for any reason and they weren't correctly contracted, then you could be held liable. All of our local staff are correctly contracted to make sure that no legal issues ever affect our clients.

· We value safety and work smart

We prioritize safety above everything else. While Colombia's reputation has dramatically improved in recent years and the security situation is much better than before, there are still some regions that aren't safe for filming. We are always aware of the local security situation throughout the country. We also have a network of proven security guards who travel with us on shoots when required. Hey, we're playing with expensive gear!

· Our contracting and payments are all based in the U.S.

We offer the option to securely manage contracting and financial transactions through our Seattle, Washington–based C Corporation, WhereNext, Inc.

· Our post-production studio is highly efficient and state-of-the-art

We operate a video, film, photography and audio post-production studio based in the Colombian capital, Bogotá.

· We offer full-service equipment rental

WhereNext owns and operates fully insured in-house equipment. If we don't have a specialty item you're looking for, we will happily source it from one of our dedicated equipment-rental partners.

· We bring Colombian style with global awareness

While we bring a uniquely Colombian flair to all of our work, we make sure to operate on a strictly global clock. Colombia has relaxed laws around film-crew labor rights relating to daily working hours. It's common for production crews to work huge days without overtime pay to meet tight Colombian production budgets and timelines. This work ethic always comes at a cost, with a negative impact on production value and attention to detail. Aggressive Colombian production schedules can also come as a surprise to foreign producers and talent who are used to timelines that allow for teams to accomplish their tasks within an 8–10-hour work day. Our working schedules strictly adhere to a global timeframe, which makes for a healthy, happy crew, better working atmosphere, satisfied clients, and stellar work.

· Need more proof? Here’s what a few of our clients are saying:

“WhereNext was able to work with us in fluent Spanish but communicate effective video stories to our target native English-speaking markets. They always put our needs first. Their work helped us build a forward-thinking tourism campaign that helped establish Colombia as the number-one birding destination on the planet.” —Julian Guerrero, Vice-Minister of Tourism, Colombia

“Agile marketing is something other agencies like to say they understand and provide, but they continue to be stuck in old models and processes that slow brands down. What makes WhereNext stand out is their agility. They are creative multimedia storytellers who value partnership, collaboration, and executional excellence at speed, and they’re fully committed to not letting you down. And so far, they’ve done all that for us across four different countries in just 90 days.” —Janice Tennant, CMO, Cat Footwear

"I’ve led lengthy productions in the Kingdom of Jordan, Sweden, Ireland, and Japan, among others, and the team from WhereNext took it to an entirely new level in Colombia." —Andy Nordhoff, PR Manager, Columbia Sportswear
