  Hi, we are looking for a second location for a feature film. We have decided on a first location in the western United States, and have considered a few areas in Europe for a second location, but now we would like to stick with the Americas.

  I would like to explore adding a location from Latin/South America or Mexico (for Mexico we are interested in Yucatan Peninsula near or in Cancun). We need historical buildings, gorgeous beaches, hotel in a beautiful historical building, and a pedestrian friendly downtown or town square, and safe environment.

  If you respond, please let us know if your area has any incentives and benefits for filmmakers. What are the VISA requirements?

  Our email is gc@gcrestproductions.com .

  To learn more about the film please visit our website at http://www.gcrestproductions.com .

  Hi, I’m sending you the contact Information of the Film Commissions in Yucatán and Quintana roo, you’ll also find a few photos. Please contact us for any further information. Regarding working visas, it will depend on the nationality of your crew members, on the time you’ll be staying in Mexico (less than 180 days) and also if you’ll be paid by a Mexican or foreign company.
