THIS WEEK IN ARGENTINA
Rating on Control Room Index (comparative cost data for production in Argentina)
Number of people allowed on set – limited and local only
Travel restrictions – no international flights
Still very challenging in Argentina as they have to go back into full lockdown in a few days for two weeks. There is a protocol that is being discussed and ready to be implemented but it has been put on hold. Fatalities have been low as health precautions have been so strict. Shooting so far has been limited to remote or in-house production (such as zoom). Clients want to proceed cautiously and put plans in place to secure their projects. They are considering moving projects to the interior of the country or across to Uruguay, which is far less affected. Shoots are not being cancelled but rather postponed or looking for alternative ways.
