Frequently Asked Questions
What are production services in Mexico and what do they include?
Production services are the full-service support a local company provides to a foreign production shooting in Mexico: local crew and talent, location scouting, camera/lighting/sound equipment rental, filming permits, logistics (transport and lodging) and tax-incentive management. Invicta Films acts as your production house in Mexico end to end.
Do I need a Mexican company to shoot in Mexico?
Yes: securing permits, hiring local crew and accessing tax incentives all require a Mexican entity acting as the service producer. Invicta Films provides that legal and tax structure, so an international production operates with local backing without having to incorporate its own company.
Which tax incentives can an international production use?
International productions can access EFICINE when structured through a Mexican co-production or service-producer setup, plus institutional support depending on the project. We advise on eligibility and manage the application to optimize the shoot’s budget.
What permits are required to film at Mexican locations?
It depends on the location: public spaces, historic sites (INAH/INBAL), protected natural areas and private property each require different permits. We handle all permit management and coordination with local authorities so the shoot stays compliant.
Does Invicta Films work with English-language productions?
Yes. We have a bilingual team and offices in Mexico City and Los Angeles, letting us serve as the local point of contact for international productions. Write to [email protected] for a tailored quote.
