Alex Sutherland Alex Sutherland filmed in Turkey in 1995 for the first time with a major British film company. There was a decided lack of local backup for foreign film crews at the time and Alex saw the potential to make a difference. The locations in Turkey were rich in culture and diversity and the local team ambitious and hard-working. This saw Alex take the initiative in marketing the potential of Turkey to foreign film producers as a great place to film and since the late 1990s, he could offer services that were not previously available.
