What attracts the BBC to shoot so many of its series in Flanders? We asked Eurydice Gysel of Czar Film & TV, Flemish co-producer of the BBC series The White Queen, The Missing S1 & S2, Baptiste S1 and Les Misérables.
We've existed for 20 years and, since we are a boutique production company, making commercials for example, we are shooting every day. So, we have really a good knowledge of crew and techniques, and we know what people expect when they come to Belgium. That's what we have to offer them.
