With an emphasis on locations to match any brief, 7 Seas has the strongest grips on Colombia, Cuba and Argentina over any other operators in the same region.

Looking closely at Colombia, the time is ripe to come. What did the New York Times write in their weekend January 5th-6th issue? “Colombia gets better and better! The country hums with energy and possibility, offering a thriving environment for creativity." The word is spreading about its unspoiled beauty and photo and film productions are inevitably making their way. Cartagena is the loveliest city in Latin America: the historical atmosphere, the grand interiors, fused with a recent cosmopolitan influence makes for a very inimitable place to capture on film.

Then there’s the Rosario Islands and Santa Marta beaches, as close to a taste of heaven as mortally possible. Here, the water is a perfect turquoise and the sand a brilliant white. Selecting which stretch of beach to shoot a summer campaign or editorial will be about the most challenging part of producing in Colombia.

“What does Havana look like today?" That’s quite a common question the team at 7 Seas are asked. The political landscape has evolved in recent years and with it, so too has the island. Two things remain unchanged, the incredible locations and the friendly locals.

Havana is continuing to shine bright, with new hotels and top restaurants opening up across the city. It’s a sign of the cultural landscape evolving and it makes coming to Cuba even more enticing. The architecture in vibrant colours and the energetic streets are still what make this place a real drawcard for productions, and there is no shortage of this.

Since 1999, Take Me To Cuba has been bringing clients to this beautiful part of the world and it’s fair to say there is no company better equipped to produce on the island with. The customs processes, visas and other paper work is handled in totality and all on-ground transport, accommodation, catering, location scouting and even local casting and equipment rental needs are taken care of.

Clients include Hermès, GQ for Louis Vuitton, Bergdorf Goodman, Boden and Australia's Zimmermann.
