We work with businesses and professionals specialising in film, TV and screen-based arts, primarily through our talent development, events and Film Office

North East Screen is North East England’s screen industries development agency. We work with emerging professionals, home grown filmmakers, production companies and artist filmmakers specialising in film, TV and screen-based arts, developing them through our North East Comedy Hot House and North East Screen Crew Academy. Through our Film Office, we support regional commercial film and TV production, attracting inward investment by promoting the region as a production base.

We are currently working with our local authority partners across the region to make the North East a Filming Friendly region for all productions. Learn more.
