Film Fiji is expecting more films to be shot in the country this year.
CEO Dallas Foon says they are expecting a busy year because of the number of overseas film productions that are already underway in Fiji.
Foon says the expertise offered by these overseas film productions are greatly benefiting Fijians who are growing in our local film industry.
Minister for Industry, Trade and Tourism Faiyaz Koya says fifty-six films were shot in Fiji last year and eight were major film productions which had a budget of around $135 million.
He says these eight major film productions brought in about $43 million into the Fijian economy last year.
