Production Manager Services

Here is how this works in practice. Production managers working through our Peru roster have built careers across Lima feature production at Tondero, Cinesphere, Big Bang Films, Audiovisual Project Perú and Inca Producciones, alongside the wave of Netflix Latin America and Amazon Studios commissions that have crossed into the country under the Ley 26370 rebates framework and Ibermedia co-production support administered by DAFO and the Ministerio de Cultura.

Here is the short of it. They are fluent in the regulatory layer that global producers usually need translated on arrival — DAFO certification for rebates eligibility, Ibermedia application paperwork, SUNAT customs ATA carnet coordination for inbound camera packages, IGV 18 percent invoicing structures, the EsSalud and SCTR workplace insurance regime mandated by Ley 29783, and the AFP and ONP retirement input paperwork that governs Peruvian crew payroll in soles. They know how no-union flexibility and 12 to 14 hour shooting day norms interact with Ministerio de Trabajo labour oversight and SUNAFIL inspection authority. They translate that landscape for line producers arriving from US, European and Latin American studios.

Here is the breakdown. On a shooting day, our production managers in Peru drive call-sheet execution in Spanish and English, basecamp logistics, transport coordination across the Pan-American Highway from Tumbes to Tacna and the Carretera Central from Lima up to Huancayo, altitude acclimatization protocols at Cusco's 3,400 metres and Andean passes above 4,500 metres, SUNAFIL labour inspections, SCTR-backed safety liaison and department escalations.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. They have established relationships across Lima production service companies — APU Productions, Chita Films, Tondero and Cinesphere — and they know the operational realities of shooting across central the capital, Cusco and the Sacred Valley, the Colca Canyon out of Arequipa, the floating reed islands of Lake Titicaca, Iquitos and the Amazon riverboat routes, and the desert sites at Nazca and Paracas. They negotiate vendor terms with rental houses, manage IGV invoicing with Peruvian contadores, and protect the qualifying-spend records needed by DAFO for Ibermedia and Ley 26370 audit. We match production managers based on scale, altitude needs and the bilingual Spanish-Quechua-Aymara skill the Peru shoot demands.
