Creative England operates at a national level with an experienced regionally based team on hand to help you at every stage of production. We can help you find and access the industry’s finest locations, studios, crew and facilities, and connect you with our film office partners and regional and national networks to gain filming permissions and facilitate a smooth shoot.
Whether it is to connect with a local authority or helping with larger issues such as filming or planning permissions, Creative England are instrumental and give us the help we need. The work they do is invaluable, I simply could not have achieved some of the large scale filming I have done recently without them.
