AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Film Industry Bridge: Puerto Rico Film Festival names Costa Rica its official country in focus for Aug. 19–23, spotlighting Costa Rican filmmakers and contemporary cinema ahead of the Costa Rica Media Market in San José (July 14–15). International Casting & Production: “Echoes,” a queer period romance by Kryzz Gautier, boards Spain, Chile, and the Dominican Republic for presentation at the Costa Rica Media Market, with principal production planned for late 2027. Sports Meets Culture: Inter Miami acquires Ecuadorian defender Fricio Caicedo on loan from Costa Rica’s FC Moravia, with a purchase option—another Costa Rica-to-global pipeline moment. Global Arts Loss: Tributes continue after Sam Neill’s death at 78; his “Jurassic Park” role famously ties back to an island off Costa Rica. Travel for Nature & Art: Ponant adds 15 Smithsonian Journeys voyages for 2028, including “Costa Rica by Sea,” blending wildlife and volcanology with expert-led storytelling.
