Malta's film servicing industry was going through a busy period, according to Joe Formosa Randon, who has been working in the area for the past 10 years and is being kept on his toes.
A locations manager on a number of productions and a consultant for other projects in the pipeline, Mr Formosa Randon could say from experience that this is one of the busiest summers - at least, gauging by the amount of work on his plate.
A Danish production company starts shooting the third of its adventure/action trilogy for kids at the beginning of next month and will be here for five weeks.
"It is all happening on the island, and Malta is being shot in Malta, featuring the knights, Hagar Qim, Fort St Angelo and other prime historical sites, as well as tourist locations," Mr Formosa Randon said.
"The storyline of the trilogy was developed to include knights and brotherhoods, and, historically, Malta just made sense," he said of the feature that is being shot for a Scandinavian audience.
August will see the three-week filming of another action/adventure feature by the French production company Largo Paneuropeenne. Not a small budget production, it is likely to have about 100 local and foreign crew on board, Mr Formosa Randon said. This time, it is also being shot in Sicily, Hong Kong and France, but is including many Maltese actors and extras. In Malta, it is shooting all over, including at the tanks, where the stern of a yacht is being built.
A Russian detective TV series also starts filming in Malta next month over a period of about 45 shooting days - considered to be a "hell of a lot" by Mr Formosa Randon.
An episode for Coronation Street, one of the UK's longest-running, popular soap operas, will be shot at the end of the month in Ramla l-Hamra, Ta' Cenc and Victoria.
"In the summer, it often happens that a member of the cast goes on holiday and the episode is filmed on location, but it is usually Spain," Mr Formosa Randon pointed out.
"I do not know if it is just the summer rush, but it is definitely getting busier and there are always rumours of other projects in the air."
The vast majority of the movies come through the Malta Film Commission, which is instrumental in attracting these productions and is now being helmed by Luisa Bonello, who has been involved in the local movie scene since the commission's inception in 1999.
