As They Expand Their Production Services to Brussels !
Shelter Film joins JW Collective’s worldwide roster of service production giants.
With years of experience shooting commercials, films and music videos in Ukraine and Georgia (alongside Radioaktivefilm), Shelter Film has recently opened a base in Belgium to bring their skillset more locally to Europe.
Often referred to as the capital of Europe, their new base in Brussels offers a raft of fresh, historic and modern shooting locations, impressive studio facilities, a variety of sound stages up to 3,000 sq metres, cycloramas, and the world’s largest underwater stage (with moveable platform for decorations and multiple weather pre-sets) and an established pool of international casting talent.
Within just two hours by train from London (1.5 hours from Paris), this new base in Brussels also offers their clients the ability to cut their travel carbon emissions for productions. Eurostar claims the reduction in carbon for train vs plane London-Brussels is -96% – a train journey being 2.9 kg CO2 per person vs 68.1 kg by plane.
Albert Zurashvili, visionary Founder and EP at Shelter comments: ‘’Being in the heart of Europe, Brussels rarely comes to mind as a shooting service destination, and we want to take advantage of bringing these new locations, facilities, crews and skillsets, that are within a planet-friendly train ride, to many our clients”.
Dorothee Hernandez also joins shelter.film as Executive Producer in Brussels, bringing fifteen years of expertise in the French market to strengthen the global production standards of the local office. It is very important to the company that it shares the same high standards of work globally and this is supervised by the managing partners who share their time between offices.
Jane White, Founder, JW Collective comments: ‘We started working with Shelter Film recently alongside our longstanding Partner Radioaktivefilm in Georgia; the detail of the work they do is exceptional, and we are delighted to welcome them to JW Collective and look forward to introducing their talent to a wider commercials base”.
