A US TV series with a biblical story has chosen Malta as its location.  The production is already on the island and is due to begin shooting in a few weeks time, the DOI said, but it did not give the name of the series.

This is the first time that Malta has 4 international productions at the same time. The other productions are ‘Clavius’, ‘Andron’ and ‘By the Sea’. The local indigenous industry is doing well too with 2 Maltese feature films currently in production, Limestone Cowboy and Phobia.

Minister Manuel Mallia expressed his satisfaction to this year’s results. He remarked that Malta is widely known for its versatile locations and is really becoming a Hollywood destination in the Mediterranean.

Film Commissioner Engelbert Grech said that there is a lot of positive energy, with a high level of film activity.  The Film Commission put together a very competitive package for film producers and the consistent marketing campaigns are making Malta much more visible on the international scene.
