Bringing a production to the North East?

We provide full production services and support for film, TV and commercial shoots. With deep regional knowledge, established crew relationships across every department, and a track record delivering for major productions - we're your partner on the ground from recce to wrap.

We understand the specific challenges of working in this region - from its cities and industrial heritage to coastal locations, woodlands and the Scottish borders. The North East is incredibly diverse, and people are often surprised by just how different it is to London. We know how to navigate it all.

For high-end branded campaigns and commercials where you need an experienced producer or director, we work through our agent - please get in touch for details.
