While we were researching which country to film in, the production company in Bogota was the most responsive, responding with a comprehensive budget in very little time. But most importantly because we chose to film in Colombia we were able to make a high quality movie on a very challenging budget. The best things about shooting in Bogota were the crew and the locations. Our crew was professional, hardworking and creative. Not once did I question the level of quality or their commitment. Our film took place in Ecuador, Miami and Washington D.C. and I was very surprised by the width and depth of the selection of locations that met all our needs from US Congress to Miami design offices to a women's prison in Quito, we were able to find each one as well as solid back-ups. And I look forward to filming there again soon.
