Limassol is chosen by Copper Island as its new operational center, aspiring to place Cyprus on the world film map and to be a strong base in the Mediterranean for the entertainment industry.
In the historic center of Limassol, the new post-production studio of Copper Island is already operating. It is the first integrated infrastructure of this level in the country, designed according to the strictest international standards and equipped with cutting-edge technology.
Copper Island, an international company with a significant presence in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe and Australia, opens a new cycle of creation and partnerships in Cyprus. Through an expanded international network of partners, producers and distributors, it has formed a strong and multidimensional profile, participating in productions of high demands and international impact.
To date, it has made significant investments in international productions, with total budgets exceeding $100 million. Her collaborators include leading directors such as Ron Howard, Gus Van Sad and Simon West, as well as world-class actors such as Anthony Hopkins, Al Pacino, Bill Scarsgard, Matthew Good, Ana de Armas, Jude Law, Sidney Sweeney, Vanessa Kerby, Daniel Broul, Xia LaBeff, Coleman Domingo.
The choice of Cyprus as the base of Copper Island is said to have been not accidental, but the fruit of strategic thinking and trust in the possibilities offered by the island. "Our decision to establish our company in Cyprus is the result of careful study and long-term planning," points out Copper Island's Chief Operating Officer David Mansfield. "It is not a simple expansion of our activities, but a strategic positioning in a place with enormous potential," he adds.
Mansfield believes that Cyprus, with its privileged geographical location, modern infrastructure and its vibrant, ever-evolving creative community, offers the conditions for the development of a new hub of quality film production. "We believe a lot in the talents that are here. Our goal is to get to know them, to collaborate with them and to actively contribute to the emergence of a new generation of creative professionals," he emphasizes.
The company's name, inspired by copper, the metal that has been inextricably linked to the history and identity of Cyprus, symbolically captures Copper Island's deep relationship with the place, which it has chosen as the ideal spot for the next stage of its creative career.
The state-of-the-art studio in the center of Limassol offers high quality services, from editing and colour processing to sound, Dolby 7.1 mixing, digital archiving and data management. But beyond technical excellence, Copper Island provides comprehensive services at all stages of a film production, from the development of a project and the preparation of the shooting, to its financing and final completion.
The company's presence in Cyprus is not limited to infrastructure. Copper Island aspires to act as a bridge between the creative potential of Cyprus and the international film scene. Encourage synergies, enhance vocational training, offer development opportunities and support projects with a global perspective.
It is estimated that this is not just a new business presence, but a long-term investment that strengthens Cyprus' position on the world film map. At the same time, it lays solid foundations for the development of domestic cinematic art, while contributing substantially to the establishment of the country as a point of reference in global cinematic creation.
