Production Service

From our base in Gateshead we provide a free and invaluable production service for film and TV productions shooting anywhere in the North East of England. We aim to promote the region and ensure that not only does filming go smoothly but that we maximise benefits of production for the region.

Having worked in the past with many high profile dramas including ITV’s Vera and BBC’s Inspector George Gently, CBBC’s Dumping Ground, Tiger Aspect’s Danny and Mick, and feature films including Ken Loach’s I, Daniel Blake and Sorry We Missed You, Transformers, Avengers End Game, Atonement, and Harry Potter, we are ideally placed to help with locations, crew, facilities, local and regional contacts, accommodation and much more.

We are always looking for locations, especially private homes. You can register any type of property here as long as it is in the north east.

Using regionally based crew with local knowledge is beneficial to any production and can prove much more cost effective than bringing crew from outside the region. There is a wealth of experienced crew here in the North East, many of whom learnt their trade in the region, broadened their skills elsewhere and then returned to the North East bringing that knowledge and skills back with them. Our database allows you to search for the region’s best crew who will help make your shoot a success. We can also circulate job opportunities to specific grades and advertise using our social media channels, funding and opportunities page and weekly opportunities post.

We have a huge amount of regional facilities companies ready to work on your production.

Our database allows you to search through images of the region’s amazingly diverse locations, from coast to castle, shipyard to skyline, allowing you to find everything from iconic scenery to hidden gems. Simply add your choice to favourites, choose ‘Enquire About These Locations’ and we will be in touch with more details.
