Spike Lee targets Dubai for movie funding
Hollywood movie maker Spike Lee is looking to Dubai to help fund future films. Lee will come to Dubai in November to build connections and source finance for his movies. "Film-makers need to go anywhere they can to get money," Lee said.
The maverick producer-director says with the US suffering from the credit crunch, people are being forced to look elsewhere for funding and Dubai is one of the places he has chosen to target.
Oscar-winner Woody Allen's past four films were shot in Europe as more and more directors are looking outside of the US to secure the money necessary to make their films.
