Writer-director Alex Camilleri s debut feature, set on the Mediterranean island of Malta, was produced by filmmaker Ramin Bahrani ( The White Tiger ).
Within the film world, Malta is generally known as a production hub for Hollywood blockbusters, its picturesque shores used as locations on projects ranging from
Game of Thrones to
World War Z to Robert Altman’s
