Eight digital animation studios aim to position Costa Rica in the entertainment and animation industry at one of the most renowned fairs in this sector: KidScreen Summit 2017, which is taking place in Miami, USA, from February 13th to February 16th.

This event brings together more than 400 content buyers, 900 studios, distributors, consultants and experts from several regions of Asia, Europe, North America and Latin America.

The Costa Rican Foreign Trade Promotion Agency (PROCOMER), along with the Chamber of Information and Communication Technologies (CAMTIC), are supporting Tierra de Visitantes Esperados, Morpho Animation Studio, Herald Entertainment, Journey Animation, Studio Flex, Pixel Canibal, Sueter Studio and Kbzern companies.

We are in the first business meetings. The material that Costa Rica produces is quite interesting, as always, and producers, producers, distributors,etc., like it,

declared Osvaldo Sequeira from Studio Flex.

Álvaro Piedra, Export Director from Promotora, said that the talent that characterizes the digital animation sector has been placing Costa Rica in the spotlight of high-level studies and distributors around the world.

Otto Rivera, CAMTIC executive vice-president, commented that one of the strategies that the group has been working on, along with PROCOMER, has been to open and expand the possibilities of the service sector.

Some of the productions the country is promoting at KidScreen Summit are:

-Outopus: the adventures of a group of ingenious octopuses trying to escape their fishbowl. It is aimed at children from 8 to 12 years old and it already has a distributor.
-Flea Circus: A group of brave fleas develop the funniest circus and each episode will have an unexpected ending.
-ATV Frogs: Four little toads get together to have fun in the woods and solve problems in every episode.
-Cocos Island Squad: Underwater superheroes ready for action. Coco and her friends are ready to explore and protect the tropical treasure “Coco Island”.

By September 2016, the telecommunication and computer science sector exported $ 786 million and the service sector exported $ 6.16 billion, an increase of 12% compared to the third quarter of 2015.
