Biography
Malcolm started working as a film production manager in 1994 and line produced his first feature in 2003. He is best known for cost-controlling and maximizing production value.
Besides Malta, where he was born, his work took him to Colombia, Canada, South Africa, Hungary, Slovakia, Italy, UAE, Jordan, Romania and Morocco. Directors he worked with include Guy Ritchie, Oliver Stone and Kevin Reynolds. Stars include Jeremy Irons, Madonna, Sharon Stone, Rami Malek and John Malkovich.
Malcolm was born in 1973 and began 'hanging out' on foreign film sets from the age of 15 until he was offered his first trainee role at 16 ("Kill Cruise"). Whilst still in his teens he produced a radio and TV series ("Close Up") for the national broadcaster. The programmes were about international films shot in Malta and the various skills behind the camera. At 21 he became production manager on a UK-Finnish co-production ("Seasick") and at 22 he decided to join a fledging local TV station as a full-time producer. Three years later he won a national award and international nomination for his Austrian-Maltese documentary co-production "A Gentleman from Malta" (ARTE & PBS Malta). During this time he also directed MTV's first Flemish music video "Laat me Maar" which involved challenging setups at sea and in the air.
At 25 he was appointed by Toronto's Catalyst Entertainment to create and head the marketing and production departments at its newly acquired water SFX facility Mediterranean Film Studios. One year later, in 1999, the studio experienced its busiest year ever. He drew up reports for Malta's government on the setting up a film commission and was subsequently appointed on the government's film advisory board where he lobbied for the introduction of financial incentives. After leaving the studio facility business he returned to freelancing as a production manager / line producer and became known for The Count of Monte Cristo, Eragon, Asterix & Obelisk vs Cleopatra and Wickie The Viking.
In 2001 he set up Malta's first production service company, The Producer's Creative Partnership, and for the following two decades serviced ambitious commercials for high profile clients which included Volvo, Bacardi, L'Oreal, Shell, Chanel and Coca Cola.
Malcolm is a member of The Production Guild of Great Britain and occasionally conducts masterclasses and courses in production management.
