Filming in the Northwest

Whether you’re looking for locations, crew or facilities, we can help you to find exactly what you need. With over 400 productions coming to the region each year, we’ve already built up extensive experience and industry knowledge. But we’re determined to keep adding to that knowledge.

We’re here so that people can make film, TV and digital media in England’s Northwest. But above all, we’re here to make it easier to make it.

Each of our Film Offices hs been designed with one aim in mind – to get things moving on any aspect of film and TV. Finding a location, or rather finding a location that doesn’t blow the budget, is often where we can help. We can also deliver everything else you need before the camera turns over, from background artists to writers and performers at the forefront of the industry.

Our crew database is updated not weekly, not daily, but hourly. It means that no matter how short the notice, we can give you an answer about some of the most talented people in the business. It’s the same with our facilities houses. Whatever you need, we have it in the Northwest. Just ask.
