Multinational film uses Welsh location

The Fishguard-Rosslare ferry has proved the perfect location for the latest blockbuster to be filmed partly in Wales.
'Baltic Storm', starring legendary Canadian actor Donald Sutherland and co-star Greta Scaachi, is being produced by an international team brought together by Cardiff based Aquarius Films.
The filmmakers have also worked closely with the Wales Screen Commission on the project, and are delighted with the choice of West Wales for a major part of the filming of this $6 million production.
Terence Potter, Chief Executive of Aquarius, said: “We are very grateful to Stena Line Ltd for allowing us to use the ferry. The scenes we shot will be a very important part of the film, and it can only add to Wales’ reputation as a place where the art of film making can flourish.”
The film, a suspense-filled thriller, tells of the search for truth by a German television journalist (Scaachi) and a Swedish lawyer (Jurgen Prochnow) in a world of intrigue and lies. It is cast against a real life tale of the export of weapons from Russia, and the tragedy and drama that unfolded as a result.
Baltic Storm has also been shot in Goslar, Cuxhaven and Berlin in Germany. The shooting of key footage in Fishguard and off the coast of Wales is another success for the Wales Screen Commission, who have been attracting increasing numbers of international film makers to Wales.
