Panama offers extraordinary diversity of landscape and terrain — mountains, islands, beaches, jungle, desert, modern metropolis, and colonial architecture. We find locations that fit your project's specific requirements and secure the necessary permits from the relevant private and government entities.

We serve as your eyes and ears on the ground during the critical planning period before your arrival. We handle logistical planning down to every detail, assisting with budget development, research and fact-checking, hotel and site negotiations, permitting, casting, film registration, expedited customs assistance, immigration and visas, tax rebate applications, and in-country purchasing.

Panama's Film Incentive program offers a 25% cash rebate for qualifying productions with in-country spending above $500,000, covering feature films, TV pilots and series, commercials, music videos, documentaries, industrials, and video game content. Paragon Productions is licensed for the tax rebate program and guides qualifying clients through the process to help them capture the savings.

Once your team is on the ground, we provide professional and reliable on-site support throughout the production period, managing every logistical need. We become an integral extension of your team in order to deliver fast results and efficiently work out any challenges that may present themselves.

We work with an extremely talented and bilingual pool of local crew including camera operators, camera assistants, sound recordists, media managers, gaffers, grips, production coordinators, production assistants, drone operators, hair and makeup artists, wardrobe, art department and paramedics.

We work with a trusted network of vendors in transportation, accommodations, and catering — experienced providers who understand production's demands and tailor their services to each project.

For productions requiring actors or extras, Panama's diverse demographic gives us a strong pool to draw from, and we work hand-in-hand with excellent local casting agencies.

We will help guide you on what is available locally.  If it exists in Panama, we know where to source it — or we can help you bring it in from abroad.
