Cross-Border Finance Excellence: Shooting U.S. nonfiction and long format projects in Spain to take advantage of tax rebates and finance strategies

Infinito Studios delivers top-quality, cost-efficient long format projects while additionally servicing with the addition of finance strategies that expand the scope of the money expectations.

CHALLENGE

Garage Club has partnered with industry giants like Amazon Prime to create impactful financial advantages and deliver world-class TV series productions.

PROCESS

Spain is a territory where production costs are significantly lower without compromising premium quality at any level. A country well known for its fabulous weather and diverse wealth of locations, Spain has been chosen to shoot eclectic ranges of genres that stretch from the famous US westerns of the 1970’s, to the current productions of “Game of Thrones. On top of all these enticing filming characteristics, the Spanish Government directly supports the industry by offering tax incentives, deductions and rebates in order to expand the nation’s production capabilities.

We successfully worked on the biopic TV series for Amazon Prime “Maradona Sueño Bendito” (2021), which was a project that showcased the life of the soccer titan Diego Maradona. Of the 10 episodes created, 5 were shot in Spain and Italy, both tax rebate territories.

Garage Club put its finance machinery in motion in order to have its sister company Infinito Studios utilize the financial advantages that Spain has to offer to share them with its co-producers, which included Amazon Prime.

RESULTS

Of the 10 episodes created, 5 were shot in Spain and Italy, both tax rebate territories.
