TIS Studios opened a new 18,300-square-foot [1] soundstage in Bogotá, Colombia, on July 10 to expand the city's production capabilities.

The expansion of the production hub is intended to attract larger international film and television projects to the region. By increasing available infrastructure, Colombia seeks to position itself as a primary destination for high-budget global content.

The new facility, known as Stage 7, stands 40 feet high [1]. Variety said the facility is Colombia’s largest soundstage and one of the biggest in Latin America [1]. The opening coincided with the conclusion of the 17th Edition of the Bogotá Audiovisual Market (BAM).

Variety said the Bogotá Audiovisual Market wrapped its 17th Edition on July 10 with an uptick in attendance [2]. This growth in industry participation aligns with the physical expansion of production assets like Stage 7 to meet rising demand for regional filming locations.

The facility provides the necessary scale for complex sets and large-scale crews that previously may have required travel to North American or European hubs. TIS Studios said the space was designed to serve as a versatile environment for a variety of genres and production sizes [1].

Industry data from the market event highlights the growing scale of the Colombian sector. The Bogotá Audiovisual Market saw 2,336 [2] participants, including 271 [2] producers, and 882 [2] professionals from the audiovisual industry.

“The facility is described as Colombia’s largest soundstage and one of the biggest in Latin America.”

The opening of Stage 7 signals a strategic shift in Colombia's entertainment economy, moving from providing scenic locations to offering industrial-scale infrastructure. By establishing one of the largest soundstages in Latin America, Bogotá is attempting to reduce the reliance of international productions on external hubs, potentially increasing local employment and foreign investment in the regional film industry.
