Travel infrastructure - the region is geographically at the centre of the UK meaning we are two hours by train from London and Edinburgh; at the heart of the UK's motorway network; and within 40 miles of four major airports. 

The most film friendly region in the UK - Screen Yorkshire has established a Film Friendly Partnership with local authorities and other key organisations in the region aimed at making Yorkshire and Humber the number one destination for film and television production in the UK. The initiative sets out to ensure that filming happens as easily and effectively as possible. Find out more about the Film Friendly Partnership

Screen Yorkshire can support your production in a number of ways, for example, by finding locations, sourcing crew and facilities, securing permissions, liaising with councils and negotiating with hotels on your behalf. Further information on filming in Yorkshire and Humber.

Made in YorkshireUnforgiven

unforgiven Producer Karen Lewis on her experiences on the set of Red Production Company's three-part drama for ITV, Unforgiven:

This is the first time I've worked in the North of England, and I just love this unfailingly committed and talented crew, who march back up the sodden field after five hours of sterling work, every one of them smiling - and bang on time for lunch, too.

Unforgiven shot at various locations across West Yorkshire in the summer of 2008, and was supported by Screen Yorkshire through its Production Fund.
