We support the growth of a world-class, sustainable production sector in the region.
At the heart of this is our Film Office, which supports incoming commercial film and high-end TV productions by offering easy access to skilled crew, diverse filming locations, and our filming-friendly local authority partners. We ensure productions receive the on-the-ground support they need for a seamless experience.
The North East Production Fund further strengthens the region’s offer by investing in high-end, globally recognised content made here in the North East. The fund is designed to secure inward investment, create jobs, and build a long-term, resilient and sustainable production base in the region.
We work with established producers, high-level creative talent, and production companies across film, TV, and screen-based arts, helping them to develop, connect, and deliver outstanding content in the North East and champion them when they work away from the region.
The North East of England is a welcoming home where people can live, work, and create world-class TV and film. As the fastest-growing screen sector in the UK, we’re proud to work with our brilliant partners to build a fairer, greener, and more inclusive industry for all.
We continue to champion homegrown talent, crews, and businesses – and the diverse stories that reflect the people, places, and creativity of our region.
