The Bali Film Center (BFC) recently wrapped up two commercial, international film productions on locations in Bali and Java.
Surf's Up
Portugal's Lusa Film's Producer, Jose Neto, shot four days of beach and surfing scenes on location on Bali's Balangan, Padang Padang and Jimbaran beaches for NetCabo Internet and Still Productions.
Bali Film Center cast three female surfers from Bali as body doubles for three Portuguese actresses featured in the production.
"We are incredibly pleased to have local talent, professional crew and equipment at our disposal to meet international standards for such productions," said BFC's Director Deborah Gabinetti. All equipment for the production came from Jakarta and Singapore and international professional surfers were sourced from Bali.
