We support the growth of a world-class, sustainable production sector across the region.
Our Film Office connects productions with skilled crew, diverse locations and filming-friendly local authorities, while the North East Production Fund invests in high-end, globally recognised content made here in the region.
To help the sector reach its full potential, through the North East Screen Industries Partnership (NESIP), funded by the combined authorities — Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) and North East Combined Authority (NECA) — we drive investment, develop talent and create long-term opportunities across film, TV and digital.
The North East is the fastest-growing screen sector in the UK and a welcoming home where people can live, work and create world-class screen content — and we’re proud to champion the diverse stories, talent and businesses that make it happen.
