The Panama Film Commission is a division under the Ministry of Trade and Industries, created to promote and facilitate the development of the film industry in Panama. With our latest addition to the general culture law, we actively welcome foreign productions to film and provide the support as one stop shop that will allow you to gather the information your production requires for a smooth and enjoyable production experience. Our main benefit includes a 25% cash rebate of the total amount of goods and services purchased from local suppliers in Panama when investing more than $500,000. This incentive program covers feature films, tv pilot programs, tv series (broadcast and cable), tv commercials, music videos, industrials, documentaries, video game design and creation, and other forms of content creation. We can also include as a great incentive a customs temporary entry permit that will allow you to bring in all your production equipment duty-free, we have the US dollar as currency, short distances between locations, more than 70 direct flights, many within the same time zone, leading rental houses, bilingual local technical crew and extras and the possibility of simulating world's major cities, closer and with lower costs. Make Panama your next filming destination! Discover the hospitality of our people and enjoy the richness of our landscapes and culture.
