Mexican creativity is at the heart of Netflix productions. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos highlighted the importance of working with local companies to invest in the creative community. In this regard, a multi-million dollar investment for the production of films and series in Mexico over the next few years was announced. This collaboration not only aims to promote the country globally but also to generate economic development and employment.
In an appearance at the Morning Press Conference with President Claudia Sheinbaum, Sarandos shared the vision of a prosperous and opportunity-filled Mexico. He emphasized the diversity of stories that are planned to be showcased, moving away from the glorification of criminal groups that has been previously criticized by Sheinbaum. Local productions are expected to contribute new narratives and reflect Mexico's cultural richness.
Netflix has been recognized for notable Mexican productions such as Alfonso Cuarón's "Roma" and the series "Club de Cuervos." Additionally, new projects have been announced, including a documentary about the life of Juan Gabriel directed by María José Cuevas. In this context, collaboration with Churubusco Studios is emphasized to improve facilities and continue fostering local talent in the entertainment industry.
The commitment to Mexican content reflects a trend in streaming platforms, where there is a push to amplify local voices and offer variety to international audiences. Through this alliance, it is expected that Mexico will continue to be an important production center for Netflix, thus contributing to the growth of the audiovisual industry in the country.
