Quotes from PCP Clients
"I will certainly remember Malta for the warmth of the local
people; and the sharp organisation of PCP made shooting in Malta a
relevant production choice."
- Eric Zaouali, Executive Producer for "Largo Winch" directed by
Jérôme Salle (2007)
"Flying to the Mexico tanks on the border with the US was not
necessarily economical and importing technicians from nearby San
Francisco would have been more expensive,"
- Executive Producer Massimo Martinotti of Mia Films (Mexico & Miami)
when talking to
The Times of Malta during the shooting of the 'Corona -
Atlantico' commercial (2006).
"Need water? Desert? Seamless horizon pools? Try Malta!
Great idea and choice. Though you will have to bring key crew and
equipment you will find
competent and enthusiastic professionals to fulfill your needs.
You'll find that the crew managing the seamless horizon tanks at MFS is
very professional and helpful."
"You
will need a local Producer to budget and manage your shoot as MFS does
not provide this service. If there is someone other than the PCP's
Malcolm Scerri-Ferrante, I haven't met him. His knowledge of Malta and
his international experience is second to none. From finding the best
available local crew to negotiating your hotel rates there is no one
better."
- Louis Saint-Calbre, Line
Producer of Orange's 'Fish Bowl' TVC for Partizan Midi Minuit in France
(2006). Directed by Antoine Bardou-Jacquet
"Shooting on water is always a difficult proposition but in Malta
it becomes a pleasure... production plays god and controls the
environment (sea, wind, rain,....)
Nice crew, lovely climate, good food."
- Lieven Van Baelen, Director of the Mobistar's
'Dive' TVC for Czar.Be (2004)
"Our
enormous thanks for making a potentially difficult shoot such a
smooth-running and enjoyable experience. The crew, locations and
facilities you provided on our none-too-generous budget was a
revelation. We would whole-heartedly recommend PCP to anyone looking for
professional production support in Malta (in fact we already have!)."
- Rob O'Connor, Producer/Director of Sony's music videos
for "Summers',
produced by London's Stylorouge
(2003)
"It was an extremely well organized operation from the
start and one which allowed me to feel secure in the knowledge that
the production was being handled in the most efficient and
cost-effective way possible"
- Adam Goodman, Line
Producer for Hallmark/Disney's Dinotopia (2002)
"The
crew was run very efficiently and all deals with the local facility
companies were to our agreed budget."
- Adam Bohling, Producer of Madonna's 'Swept Away" for
Sony/Ska
Films (2001)
"We went all over the place (in the
world) to try and find the best location, but it was really here that we
found what we were searching for... a mix of the old and the new,
something with some kind of a deep oriental feeling to it, and we got
all of that here"
-
Richard Lalonde, Producer of A Different Loyalty for Lion's Gate (2003)
"Malta is inexpensive and the labour is
good. Not only that, the locals are just plain fun. It's been a case of
home away from home here"
- Guy
Ritchie, Director of "Swept Away" (2001)
Quotes from international trades:
We were like a Hollywood sound stage in the tank
with the Mediterranean as our back-drop"
- Rennie
Harlin, Director of Cutthroat Island (1994)
What we got out of Malta was terrific. It's very
much a studio situation and it's the best water facility I know of."
- Ridley Scott, Director of White Squall
(1996)
