Bristol is Buzzing

Bristol has had a large increase in production activity, exposure and importantly, new companies opening offices in the city. Why?

• Because it has a large infrastructure of crew and facilities
• It is only 2hrs from London with fast road, rail and air links
• Public Agencies that actively help productions and companies
• A City Council that provides a service dedicated to the Film & TV Industry
• A talented crew base and a large pool of new entrants
• Bristol is the Cultural Capital of the South West

Bristol Film Office offers a professional service dedicated to helping the industry at many different levels.
