Alejandro Ávila, head of Communication at the Andalusian Film Academy, said he had a pleasant impression of the studios. ''Visiting and getting to know the Lantica Media studios has caused us Andalusian film professionals a pleasant emotion. It is an ideal location to complement filming in the lush landscapes of the Dominican Republic. The visit has also allowed us to strengthen relations between the Dominican Republic and Andalusia, which we hope will bear fruit in future joint work between these two regions already twinned by their love of cinema,' he added.
