Only cheap companies like sineplex and devil's still shoot scenes there.
Its not that easy, chris.
Piter is a difficult place for sure, but the fees are soooo much lower than in Buda/Milan/Prague and the talent pool is so big, that daring directors and companies
have to try it. And the fact that its not yet possible to shoot big budget productions there doenst mean its all cheap. The companies you mention are producing cheep for sure, but than please take in account that especially Sineplex invested a lot in their new internet platform. Piter is an excellent place to save money for such projects pointing to the future.
Also for more expensive productions, just have a look how many Italian companies bought one of two Piter shot scenes in their final product!
It may be a crucial moment for St. Peterburg biz, but with money running out, producers have to find cheeper places. Once they finally start to shoot more in Piter the whole business surrounding will change. And also new Russian male talent will surface.
But back to the subject:
I am surprised to read EE shot for Sineplex instead of his own projects, indeed. Why? Maybe that`s just a rumor...

Gapelover may know what EE did in SPB...
