Knowing the historic sites proves invaluable when shooting a film: To be successful it is essential to be aware of the weather conditions and the infrastructure, and to know the sites, the people and the authorities in charge for obtaining the filming permits. Another asset are foreign language skills (I speak English, French, and Polish). Maintaining good relationships with museums and collectors is another important factor and can make all the difference.
