20 Years of Global Production Network: A Conversation with Harry Tracosas

In the first episode of the GPN podcast, host Peter Grasse from Mr+ Positive Films in Tokyo talks to Harry Tracosas, founder of GPN, about its beginnings, challenges, and future. Harry started in film in the 1970s in New York, later founding Walk on Water Productions in Miami. The idea for GPN arose in the 90s but became viable with the internet’s growth. GPN was officially established in 2002 to connect global productions with top-tier service partners.

GPN launched in 2003 with partners in South Africa and India. Today, it spans over 100 countries, built on trust and integrity. With the shift from film to digital, production times have shortened. GPN has adapted by maintaining high standards and strong relationships. Beyond business, GPN fosters a close-knit community of professionals committed to excellence, respect, and collaboration.

As AI and new technologies reshape the industry, GPN continues to evolve while upholding its core principles. More than a network, GPN is a global family. For world-class production support, GPN remains a trusted partner.
