Cannes – Through its first participation at MIPCOM 2017, Peru opened a great deal of prospects for the production industry of the country. Investment opportunities, coproduction and commercialisation of projects are just some of the possibilities for all companies attending as part of the Peruvian delegation.
“The main goal of our participation was to introduce and showcase Peru as a viable alternative for audiovisual production. In addition, we wanted to feature the impressive and varied locations that exist in the territory. I am certain that we have achieved our goal. Every single person that came to the stand has been impressed with what we have shown,” said Mariella Soldi, sub-director of Marca Pais in PROMPERÚ. “Peru offers an array of natural locations due to its diverse geography. It also offers audiovisual products and resources that are available at very competitive prices and with the highest quality standards.”
Among the announcements at MIPCOM 2017 (Marché International des Programmes de Communication), was the Emmy Nomination for “Siesta Z”. Under the direction of producers Milton Guerrero and Sabrina Bogado, the series are a co-production of Red Animation Studios.
