As the 78th Cannes Film Festival (May 13-24, 2025) wrapped with dazzling premieres and global acclaim, the world’s eyes were on bold storytelling and fresh voices.

Puerto Rico’s film history is packed with iconic moments. The island starred in GoldenEye (1995), where the Arecibo Observatory became a thrilling backdrop for James Bond. Independent gems like Blood In, Blood Out (1993) captured Latino grit and earned a cult following, while The Rum Diary (2011) and West Side Story (2021) showcased Puerto Rico’s versatility for both blockbusters and prestige projects. Puerto Rican talent shines bright, too, with Oscar-winner Benicio del Toro (Traffic, 2000), Joaquín Phoenix, born in Puerto Rico (Joker, 2019), and emerging directors like Gabriela Díaz Arp, whose short Matininó recently turned heads at festivals. These achievements prove Puerto Rico’s cinematic prowess.

Tax Incentives: Your Budget’s Best Friend

Puerto Rico isn’t just creatively inspiring—it’s a financial win for filmmakers. The island offers up to 40% transferable tax credits on qualified local spending, covering crew, equipment, and post-production. With no state income tax for certain projects and streamlined permitting through partners like CereProds, filming here is cost-effective and seamless.

Coming Soon: Untold: Jake Paul The Problem Child | Official Teaser | Netflix

We cannot wait for the release of this incredible documentary on Netflix that CereProds had the pleasure of working on.

Coming to Netflix August 1

At 26, is Jake Paul the boxing world’s new savior or just a promoter who packs more punch in his marketing skills than in his right hand? It depends on whom you ask in UNTOLD: Jake Paul the Problem Child, an unflinching deep dive into how a wide-eyed kid from Ohio morphed from Internet sensation to most polarizing man in sports. For every high-profile critic (UFC president Dana White), there’s another supporter in his corner (former professional boxer Mike Tyson). Built on gripping interviews with the Paul brothers – along with their parents, fans, fellow boxers, and the skeptical old guard – the film culminates with a nail-biting match that will prove if Jake has what it takes to rule his new kingdom.

If you have a production coming to Puerto Rico or the Caribbean then reach out and lets work.

5 Reasons To Film in Puerto Rico

5 Reasons To Film in Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is known for its idyllic beaches, historic cities and dense, verdant rainforests. As a film making destination it is highly sought after thanks to its climate, location and natural and man-made assets. Let’s look at 5 reasons you should be shooting your next project in Puerto Rico:

Climate

Puerto Rico is a tropical filming destination with an average temperature around 80˚F (27˚C) year round; typically dry in lowland and humid in rainforest areas. The predictable nature of weather patterns makes planning and preproduction a little easier and allows for reliable scheduling around potential weather disparities. Once a huge rainforest, Puerto Rico now has a number of economic and residential centers, including capital San Juan to the north and historic capital Ponce to the south. In the rainforest areas of El Yunque and smaller forests further west, typical moderate showers occur regularly to keep the lush vegetation well fed and flowers blooming in a range of powerful colors.

Incentives

While most states offer some form of tax incentives, Puerto Rico's Act 27 enables a wide array of economic incentives that help reduce film and media production expenses, including a 40% tax credit on all payments to resident companies and individuals. Coupled with 20% incentive for non-resident entities, qualifying productions can mitigate part of their cost with some of the most attractive film tax incentives in the world today.

Location

Aside from the local topography of stunning beaches, rainforests, historic architecture and naturally occurring caves and rock formations, Puerto Rico is also situated a short flight from mainland USA. As part of the United States no passport is needed for US citizens traveling to work, no currency exchange and no cross-border hassle. Transporting equipment is possible on all commercial airlines, however we are endowed with a wide range of high quality broadcast standard production equipment on the island.

Contrast

Few films take place in a single location or setting, and producers are responsible for deciding the optimal strategy for capturing all required content in the most sensible and economically-minded way. The island of Puerto Rico is a land of stark contrast: from ancient rainforests with tropical plants and animals, waterways and valleys, beaches and deserts to towering modern high rise buildings, historic colonial-era towns and angular cityscapes. Contained within a 100x35 mile island and supplemented by some of the worlds most beautiful beaches in Culebra and Vieques, as well as main island beach-centric areas such as Rincon, Luquillo and Mayaguez. Puerto Rico has hosted countless films, fashion shoots, TV shows and documentaries.

Expertise

It takes a village of people to bring an idea to life and when it comes to film production these people must be highly trained and dedicated individuals that are qualified and able to execute on direction time and again. At any one time Puerto Rico has upwards of three full feature productions worth of professionals in every distinction from hair & makeup through key grip and cinematography. Supported by the ICG 600 out of New York and IATSE 494, Puerto Rico has Hollywood-tier, locally based crew bringing their expertise to each vital, moving part of a full production.

We aim to reduce the work flow of creatives when filming in Puerto Rico, freeing them to concentrate of the creative elements of their respective projects and leave the logistics to us. CereProds has a wide range of experience across different media channels in providing production services at every stage of development and production. Contact us today to discuss your next project.
