Film Productions in the Algarve strengthen Portugal’s Film Industry The Algarve was one of the two film locations chosen for the British feature drama.

´There’s always Hope`, is a production from Eagle Films, Bad Penny Productions and Monte Productions in association with Spy Manor Productions. All film organisations behind this project have plans to bring movie productions to the region.

November marks a successful month for the film production in the Algarve. The Algarve Film Collective unveiled that eight movie organisations from both the UK and Portugal are currently collaborating in over four important initiatives.

Directed by Tim Lewiston, the movie features Colm Meaney (Hell On Wheels), Kate Ashfield (Shaun Of The Dead) and newcomer Hannah Chinn with Oscar-nominated production designer Tim Hutchinson (Victor Victoria), composer Guy Farley (Anthropoid), DoP Ali Asad (Mad To Be Normal) and editor Jeremy Gibb (Property Of The State) as part of the crew.

With a budget of £1 million, the production generated around one hundred jobs for the local community and went ahead despite restrictions imposed by COVID-19. The producers created a separate Covid-19 team that was responsible for the execution of the strict regulations given by the Portuguese authorities.

During the same month, Spy Manor Productions initiated a global search for Portuguese screenwriters to take part in a ground-breaking, free workshop that will produce a new Algarve based television series.
