Says Ivo Van Vollenhoven, Founder / CEO, Twentyfour Seven, “We felt the time was right to launch in South America, to support the diversity of our clients’ productions. We had a previous presence in Argentina, Colombia and Cuba from 2004 to 2007 so it’s not a totally new venture for us. The opportunities and shooting locations in LATAM are stunning and we have secured the most experienced and knowledgeable talent in the region to head up our new base in Santiago.”
