Film production in Uruguay: an analysis from Cost General Theory

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The present work, using concepts from the Cost General Theory and its connection with the culture economy, analyzes the viability of the film productions in Uruguay, focusing on the cost factors of the projects and their financing. The research is based on the study of fiction films released between 2012 and 2016. The results show that, with the current level of ticket sales, Uruguayan films can hardly be economically viable without a significant support from public funds. The high costs in a prototype industry and high risks makes it essential to know the alternatives for the viability of these projects.
