As Malta Film commission continues to attract foreign film production companies to our shores, the list continues to grow as notorious Hallmark Channels have launched their 2 million budget movie, To Catch a Spy – filmed on our very own island.
Prominent actors and local crew
Though Hallmark TV channel is American, Colin Azzopardi, the Maltese producer for this movie highlights “90 percent of film’s casting are Maltese.” This is good news for the economy – through the same process of boosting the local film industry through foreign investment, the same industry is also creating a local workforce within itself.
The film is written by famous writer Nick Garman and starred by actors Colin Donnell, Patti Murin and Nathalie Kelley.
