"The Age of Innocence" (Courtesy Chris Baker/Netflix) While an ongoing production exodus has prompted much soul-searching and handwringing in Hollywood, industry professionals in Central and Eastern Europe couldn’t be more bullish, as studio blockbusters, streaming series and other international productions continue to flock to the region.
