"The water in Malta is as clear as the Caribbean. For ” Kon-tiki ” I shot the raft looking up from 30 meters depth and it was clear. Later on for ”Com Hem” I really wanted the commercial look that clear blue water has. Another important factor is that Gozo, the island in north, has good harbours and shelters for all winds making the shoot safe for changes in weather. ” - Eric Börjeson, Underwater DOP, following the shooting of the Com Hem commercial
"Shooting in Malta offers a look and feel that is completely unique, a tank on the Mediterranean that is second to none, and the best local extras and day players I have ever worked with. Its proximity to central Europe makes it easy for cast, equipment and crew to flow back and forth when and where needed." - Angela Mancuso, president of USA Cable during the shooting of the miniseries "Helen of Troy" (USA)
"It was a pleasure" - Lisa Paclet (director) of Chanel's "Allure" (France)

"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. 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 and foreign lab there is no one better."

- Richard Lalonde, Producer of "A Different Loyalty" for Lion's Gate
