Blog regular Gilder sent me this article on the decreasing film and television production in California as studios look elsewhere – out of state and out of country – where the lure of tax incentives offer the promise of bigger bang for your bucks. The article lists four popular regions – the U.K., Canada, Eastern Europe, and Ireland. I find the last two especially appealing, partly owing to the fact that I’ve always wanted to visit Hungary and Ireland, but also because we were looking into shooting a show in the former as well as potentially show running a series in the latter at some point last year. Of course as is often the case in this business, the promise of shooting overseas (at one point, Portugal and Czechoslovakia were in the mix) went the way of Citadel: Honey Bunny season 2.
Given the prospect of shooting anywhere in the world, my first choice would be, unsurprisingly, Japan. My second choice would actually be Portugal, a place I researched while developing that supernatural surf mystery series. Third choice? Honestly, after my recent two and a half month stay, I would say Los Angles.
What about you? Where are you shooting your dream show?
