  I’m coming to Europe shortly to begin some research for a WWII project. I’ll be in Normandy (France), Belgium (Bastogne, Ardennes region) and Holland (Arnhem, Nijmegen). I’m interested in making contact with location/production people and film commissions in those areas. Your help in these areas would be much appreciated.

Feature films, shorts, commercials, videos, whatever the nature of the project, this service, created in January 2001 in Lower Normandy, offers logistical support and administrative support to facilitate the pre-production and production stages.
