The Movie Set




Welcome to our first blog entry, long may it continue. I wanted to create a blog which will be informative and give an insight into the local area in all it's glory. There will be some advertising elements along with the entries so if you don't like it just look away.

To those of you who don’t know, this may spark some interesting coffee talk. With a budget of 100 million dollars they searched high and low for a set that could fit the spec. The white military base located towards the edge of Los Alcázares was exactly what they were looking for.



An unsuspecting me was having a hair cut when I gazed up to see if it was my turn when all of a sudden I saw him, well at least I thought I did as it was Matt Damon´s stunt double that looked over at me and said; “ I think I’m next”. I pretended that this sort of thing happens to me every day and thought that it would be best to ignore him, you know in an effort to look cooler somehow.

Later that day it was the talk of the town, movie extras were being sought and the Los Narejos hotel, yes in it’s entirety had been rented out to the film crew minus Matt Damon who I believe had more lavish dwellings elsewhere.
I always thought that a period drama would be filmed here and not a war movie but I guess it was very logical at the time.
Matt must have loved this place.

Coffee was a ritual performed daily, once again I stood in line listening to a multitude of different languages waiting for my reward. As I was handed my first coffee of the day, life seemed to be more than balanced once again. As pleasantries were exchanged, I managed to find a seat and sipped my coffee whilst browsing a local newspaper. There was no rush to open up the office as I had cleaned up and prepared for my morning meeting the previous day. I used to interview people when I worked as a recruitment consultant in London albeit for employment purposes, but the principle is often the same. Today was just a little special as I had arranged to meet someone who I think has really contributed towards putting LA on the map.I followed his journey since early 2016 on Facebook and felt extremely privileged to finally meet the man behi...
