my personal and professional thanks for the way in which you

The PCP's resident Line Producer/UPM,
Malcolm
Scerri-Ferrante, has been working in the film and television
industry for the past 19 years. He steadily climbed the ranks from
a runner through to assistant directing and location & production
management. He produced his first TV documentary series at the age of 19
and his first feature experience as a Production Manager was at the age
of 21 on a low-budget UK/Finnish co-production 'Merisairas'. Several years later, in 1998, he was appointed
Production & Marketing Manager of Mediterranean Film Studios
(MFS) during its new management. After one year MFS recorded
the highest number of productions in its 35 year history. Through
his personal debut in television programming he has written, produced
and directed over 50 hours of screen-time which include award-winning
co-productions with Germany, Austria and Belgium. The Maltese-Canadian
film director Mario
Azzopardi had this to say about Malcolm: "He has been
an integral part in the development of film production in Malta.
His passion, enthusiasm and self-sacrifice has been seminal in
the creation and perpetuation of a small film industry in Malta
that has now been recognized and validated by the Government of
Malta."
