Hi there Everyone-
I am planning a move to Spain in a month.  I worked in Almeria in 2000 on a tv series (near Tabernas where they have 3 old western towns set up in the desert)? Does anyone on this board work in film/tv or know anyone that does?  I am from Canada originally and have lived in Los Angeles since 2001.  I fell in love with Spain, and now am coming back, finally.  I speak Spanish and work as an editor and director? feature film editing and music video/commercial directing. 
Thanks, and it?s nice to ?meet? you all.

Hi Christina,
That’s a really interesting concept! TV for Expats! Great! When is it coming online? Why isn’t it available by Internet? (or is it?)

Sorry if this is too late but I just saw your post.  I’m not a local expert, but as an advertising creative from the UK I’ve shot commercials in Spain twice, in Madrid and Barcelona.  In my experience there’s loads of film and tv activity in Spain, with a big native industry in relation to the size of the population.  Also conditions with weather/light, variety of locations, relatively low costs and good crews make Spain very attractive for people like us from Northern Europe to shoot there.  The cast and crew I worked with in Barcelona was very cosmopolitan, including nationals of at least six countries but all living permanently in Catalunya.  (You could try Voodoo films in BCN for commercials.) Good luck.
