Malcolm Scerri Ferrante was born in Malta in 1973 and entered the film industry at just 16, gaining hands-on training on set. By 19, he had produced his first television series; by 21, he was production managing his first international feature film; and by 30, he had advanced to line producing.
His career has since taken him across the globe — working in Colombia, Morocco, Canada, Jordan, Israel, Hungary, South Africa, and Italy — and collaborating with acclaimed directors such as Guy Ritchie and Oliver Stone.
At 25, Malcolm joined Catalyst Entertainment in Toronto, overseeing both the marketing and production departments at Mediterranean Film Studios, which went on to achieve its busiest year in 1999 under his leadership.
In the early 2000s, he was appointed to the Maltese Government’s Film Advisory Board, where he played a key role in advocating for and shaping Malta’s first-ever film financial incentives.
As a freelance line producer and production manager, Malcolm has contributed to a diverse range of high-profile productions, including The Count of Monte Cristo, Asterix & Obelix vs. Cleopatra, Papillon, Eragon, and Alexander: The Making of a God.
A member of the Production Guild of Great Britain (PGGB) and a former participant of the reputable Production Value workshop held by Focal, Malcolm is widely recognised for his expertise in budgeting, cost control, and maximizing production value.
