mr.borg, there is no profit from these types of productions..the money granted is no enough to cover all the costs..these people have talent and need the help..the more experience malta gains in film production will benefit the whole island including people like you..films create a lot of jobs in all sectors..more movies and adverts are being made in malta not only because of location and weather but also because of the talented locals...this is ridiculous that you comment with out having any idea what you are saying.
