Yorkshire and Humber - 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 set out to ensure that filming happens as easily and effectively as possible so that production companies have a positive experience of filming here and return for their next project.Since the launch of the charter in 2008, the Film Friendly Partnership has gone from strength to strength as more and more organisations recognise the benefits and value that film and television production can bring to the cultural and economic wealth of the region.
