Malaysia is on its way to becoming one of the leading regional hubs for film production. The country has successfully attracted foreign creative investments through the Film in Malaysia Incentive (Fimi), which is creating jobs and upskilling the local workforce.
National Film Development Corporation (Finas) chief executive officer Datuk Azmir Saifuddin Mutalib revealed that among the latest international productions set to benefit from Fimi is the upcoming television series Lord Of The Flies, produced by Sony Pictures and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The series was filmed in Langkawi, Kedah, at the end of last year.
