About Us
SELECTED PRODUCTION EXPERIENCE
Local Knowledge. Experienced Crews. Reliable Production Support.
Guatemala Film Connections brings together an experienced network of production professionals, technicians, location specialists, creative collaborators, suppliers, and local partners throughout Guatemala. Our team has supported international and local feature films, television series, documentaries, commercials, fashion productions, photography projects, and branded content in a wide variety of locations and production environments.
From the first stages of planning through the final day of filming, we provide practical, hands-on support adapted to the specific needs of each project. Our experience includes line production, production management, budgeting, location scouting, permitting, crew and talent coordination, equipment rental, transportation, accommodations, casting, translation, customs assistance, and on-set logistics.
Over the years, our team has worked in Guatemala City, Antigua Guatemala, Lake Atitlán, Petén, the Caribbean coast, the Pacific coast, volcanic landscapes, highland communities, rainforests, archaeological sites, and other locations across the country. This nationwide knowledge allows us to identify suitable locations, anticipate logistical challenges, connect productions with reliable local resources, and develop realistic solutions for different schedules and budgets.
We understand that every production is different. Whether supporting a small documentary crew, an international commercial, a television project, or a large narrative production, our goal is to provide clear communication, careful coordination, and dependable local assistance. We work closely with producers, directors, production companies, agencies, and visiting crews to help each project move efficiently from pre-production through wrap.
