Malta has been selected by Studio 100, a leading television and film production company in Belgium, to shoot a new feature length film.

Having had a successful filming experience in 2013 with ‘Pirate Pete and the Sea Monster’, Studio 100 will be returning to Malta this month to film at key locations in Malta and Gozo.

The two islands will serve as a backdrop for this new adventure family film. The film has potential for future screen tourism activities and was made possible as a result of the new financial guidelines launched by the Malta Film Commission.

Tourism Minister Edward Zammit Lewis said the film promised to be an excellent marketing opportunity for Malta and Gozo. This renewed collaboration with Studio 100 augured well for further collaboration between Malta’s film and tourism industry.

With the main characters Mega Mindy & Rox already enjoying popularity and a high captive audience in Belgium and the Netherlands, the Malta Tourism Authority would capitalise on this opportunity to further intensify its efforts in these two markets.

The film is to be released later this year in Flemish and Dutch cinemas and distributed in Flanders by Kinepolis Film Distribution.
