CostaFilma once again got involved in the efforts of the Andalucian government to raise the profile of the AudioVisual sector in Andalusia. Held May 22nd at the Hotel Fuerte Miramar in Marble, the Encuentro Empresarial de Diseño y Medios Audiovisuales en Andalucía involved a question and answer session as well as presentations by leading Spanish interactive web design film DoubleYou.

CostaFilma has produced a spot for Victor Chandler International, a leading online Sports Gambling organisation. The spot is to promote VCI’s specials for the John Smith’s Grand National 2008 horse race.

You can view the spot on YouTube, or, of course, right here.

1st meeting entrepreneurs audio visual sector

November, 22nd, 2007, Puerto Real, Spain:

It was the first gathering sponsored by the Andulcian government and various local film councils that brought together anyone who mattered in the small film production sector in Andalucia. CostaFilma had a booth there and founder Phil Smy spoke on a panel.

It was an exciting day, and an indication that Andalucia might actually get behind the small film production company.

In anticipation of the upcoming trade show – the Encuentro Emprendedores del Sector Audiovisual (Audiovisual Entrepreneurs Meeting) – in Puerto Real at the Escuela de Cine we’ve done a new promo video about CostaFilma and our services.

If you are attending the show, see you there! It promises to be interesting

November 4th, 2007 – CostaFilma, SL are pleased to announce the optioning of ‘Coming Out’, a comedy written by American screenwriter Jason Strange.

Coming Out is a romantic comedy about a homophobic executive who must pretend to be gay in order to land a homosexual client.

‘Coming Out’ was discovered through TriggerStreet. Trigger Street Productions, Inc., was formed in 1997 by Kevin Spacey to develop and produce entertainment in a variety of mediums. Realizing that the path to his own success would have been much rockier without the support and encouragement of many outstanding mentors, Spacey has sought out a way to inspire, nurture, and help bring exposure to new and undiscovered talent. If you are in a position to help others, if you find yourself in the building of life and you can send the elevator back down, that becomes your earnest duty. This philosophy has become the catalyst for the second step of his vision – TriggerStreet.com. CostaFilma has been involved in TriggerStreet since its inception.

Jason Strange hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he studied screenwriting at the University of Pennsylvania.

In the coming months CostaFilma will be developing Coming Out. For further information contact us.
