I am looking for two or three locations in Latin America for a film I am directing called Tangerine Skies. I posted in this forum last summer, but we had to reschedule the filming for February 2014 and update the locations we need for the film.
The film is a fictional story, but it is inspired by actual events. It is about a couple who will go on the greatest treasure hunt in history. The treasure to be found is rumored to be so powerful that it can eliminate poverty permanently and overturn the world’s power structure (who is in control of the world’s economies and power), but they will battle dark forces who will try to stop them.
The hunt will start in the Americas (1st Tangerine Skies movie) and will move internationally (in the sequel). This is an adventure movie, which will involve stunts but no explosions. Stunts include horseback riding,hiking near a volcano and mountains two choreographed fight scenes (grappling, some MMA, being thrown in a very shallow natural pool/waterfall pond), and three choreographed dance performances.
We are especially interested in Costa Rica and Belize, or Ecuador and Argentina, and/or Brazil. I would like to choose two or three cities or towns from either one of these countries or two (no more than two countries). Below are the details of what kind of locations I am looking for.
1. Volcano location. (where the lead characters and two supporting actors will be hiking as part of the treasure hunt. The volcano must be near a resort hotel).
2. Either a rainforest or botanical gardens that offer waterfalls, walking trails, and possibly caves. (this is for the treasure hunt scenes and fight scene).
3. Gorgeous beaches with palm trees and blue or crystal color water.
4. A major city, which has brand name luxury shops, especially “brand name” jewelry shops like Cartier, great restaurants, and art galleries of modern art.
5. A city or town that has maintained its historical architecture, very charming place where you can get lost in its authentic surroundings. A town like Quito (Ecuador) would be great…since that city has maintained its historical architecture, has renovated some of their buildings to become hotels like Casa San Marcos http://www.casasanmarcosquito.com/
