Costa Rica's film industry booms — local talent and efficient commissions key, say Disney and top producers

Costa Rica has grown from a near-absent film market in the late 1990s — when Spielberg shot "The Lost World" there — into an award-winning exporter with films celebrated at Cannes and Berlin. At an industry panel, a Disney executive and top producers argued that the real competition between filming locations is no longer about tax incentives but about local talent and efficient film commissions. Costa Rica was cited as a model for how those factors can drive a national industry's rise.
