Your Gateway to Filming in Argentina

The ideal lead time for contacting us for location scouting varies depending on several factors, including the complexity and uniqueness of the locations required, the scale of your production, and the specific time of year (considering local seasons and events). For standard requests involving easily accessible or commonly used locations, a few weeks in advance is often sufficient for initial scouting and presentation. However, for projects requiring highly specific, unique, remote, or logistically challenging locations, or those involving sensitive environmental or historical sites, we strongly advise reaching out several months in advance. This allows ample time for in-depth scouting, access negotiation, necessary surveys, and crucially, the often-lengthy process of securing permits from various authorities. Providing us with your script or a detailed location brief as early as possible allows us to give you a more accurate estimate and start the process efficiently.

Absolutely. Rio de la Plata Scenics provides comprehensive logistical coordination services tailored specifically to the needs of international film crews working in Argentina. Our expertise extends beyond just the location itself to include managing arrangements for your crew's stay and movement. We can assist with sourcing suitable accommodation (from hotels to private rentals) that meets your budget and location requirements, coordinating transportation for cast, crew, and equipment (including specialized vehicles for challenging terrains), facilitating local ground support, and offering guidance on local services and customs. We understand the unique needs and challenges international productions face and are equipped to provide the necessary support to ensure your team is comfortable, safe, and able to focus entirely on filming.

With deep roots and extensive experience across the entire country, Rio de la Plata Scenics boasts expertise in a vast array of location types throughout Argentina. While our name references the region surrounding Buenos Aires, our scouting capabilities span from the sub-tropical north to the glacial south. This includes, but is not limited to: the bustling urban environments of major cities like Buenos Aires and Cordoba (modern districts, historical neighborhoods, industrial areas, residential streets), dramatic natural landscapes (Andean mountains, Patagonian steppe, vast plains of the Pampas, lush jungles, stunning waterfalls, coastal areas), historical sites (colonial architecture, ruins, traditional estancias), unique geographical features (deserts, salt flats, vineyards, glacial lakes), and specific interiors (theaters, public buildings, private homes, industrial spaces). We are particularly adept at finding locations that offer authentic Argentine character, whether it's a grand European-style boulevard or a rustic rural setting.

Absolutely, securing access to private properties is a core and often essential part of our location management service, especially when public locations don't meet the specific creative or logistical needs of a production. We have built strong relationships and a reputation for professionalism that allows us to approach private landowners, businesses, or residents on your behalf. Our team handles all communication and negotiation processes, explaining the production's requirements, addressing any concerns the owner might have, outlining logistics (like crew size, equipment, duration), and formalizing agreements. We work diligently to secure the necessary permissions and contractual agreements to allow filming on private land, ensuring a smooth and respectful interaction with the property owners.
