The Valencia Community Thematic Projects Association (SPTCV), which operates the cinema complex located in Alicante, aims to move forward safely and to that end has launched a search for solvent profiles that will contribute to the roadmap for guiding return. filming. Professionalizing the management of the works is the previous step in the resumption of the activity and the first thing to look for is a specialist operations director on the job.

The contract that is the subject of the tender aims to professionalize the management of film studios through a contract for the provision of services”, emphasizes Rodes. After all, it’s the same thing that was done for the organization of the Volvo Ocean Race, namely hiring an expert to organize the event, emphasizing that someone who knows the industry is guaranteed to face the challenges.
