“From a film making point of view I found Bristol and the South West not only had fantastic locations both contemporary and period - but it was also really flexible and welcoming to filming, unlike London. Also - there is a solid foundation of creative talent. Both the camera and art department were local. I want to make everything there!”

Bruce Goodison

Director of THE CURE & MURDER IN THE CAR PARK

“I love shooting in Bristol. It has everything you need without the cost and hassle of shooting in London”

Dave Nath, Director of THE INTERROGATION OF TONY MARTIN

"Shooting in Bristol was a great experience; excellent and varied locations with a good pool of professional crew to choose from and welcoming locals. I hope I can work there again, someday!"

Simon Rumley, Director of CROWHURST

"I've always found Bristol an ideal place to shoot, there are excellent studio facilities, a vast range of locations, both rural & urban, period & modern, plus a thriving media scene providing logistical support & world-class crews, VFXs & post-production talent.”

 Adam Oldroyd, Director of SIDESHOW

“It’s really refreshing to be shooting outside of London - there’s an abundance of great locations and a genuine ‘can do’ attitude.”

Michael Timney, Director of Photography

“Filming in and around Bristol worked extremely well for what we wanted to achieve with ‘The Fear’.  We found great locations, the Bottle Yard was an excellent base and provided very atmospheric gang-land interiors. And combined with our London HODs, we managed to access great local crews.”

Michael Samuels, Director

"Having shot a feature recently in Bristol I was blown away by what the City has to offer - Great locations, fantastic and experienced crew and a brilliant network of support and film-making creatives. We shot across various locations in the City (from urban to rural) and I was genuinely impressed by the locations that were available. From council terraces to Norman Manor Houses we found the perfect locations and all were easily accessible on a tight schedule”.

Chris Crow, Director of THE BALLAD OF BILLY McRAE

“I found the experience of shooting in Bristol a pleasure from start to finish. The crew and facilities were excellent, there are deep wells of local talent, and committed film-making passion and energy everywhere you look.  There’s a terrific variety of film-friendly locations in Bristol itself, as well as access to beautiful countryside and other location-rich towns and cities nearby.  Generally it felt a very filming-friendly city - locals and locations were accommodating and friendly.  Would love to work there again!”
