Teet Kuusmik, the head of the Jõhvi film campus, says that many companies have shown interest. They want to offer services to the film campus. For example, they offer special effects or equipment rental. Kuusmik says they are also looking for a partner for the hotel. The hotel should be of high quality but affordable.
Currently, a hotel with 70 rooms is being built in the city of Jõhvi. This hotel attracts people and entrepreneurs to the city. They can invest in the private sector.
The film campus is being built in Kotinuka village. It is located near the Tallinn-Narva highway. The campus will be completed in three parts: studio buildings, an office building, and infrastructure. The infrastructure is already completed.
Kuusmik says the infrastructure is ready. Roads, water, and sewage are in place. Currently, a substation is being built next to the digital media incubator, and cables are being installed.
Kuusmik says there is great interest in the film studio buildings. Currently, negotiations are underway with five film projects. These projects may come to the studio by the end of the year.
The Jõhvi film campus costs 16 million euros. This money is provided by the European Union.
