BEHIND THE CAMERA: Creativity and Investment for Latin America & the Caribbean [REPORT]

This document provides an overview of the audiovisual sector in Latin America and the Caribbean. It uses a hybrid methodology that combines primary and secondary research, as well as nearly 100 interviews with key stakeholders in the industry.

For this purpose, it is necessary to understand where professionals train, how they join a production, and which technical skills are in greatest demand. With 2025 in sight, our region must invest in training and make the most of the opportunities presented by this growing industry.
