North East Screen is the screen industries development agency for North East England

We support the growth of a world-class, sustainable production sector across the region.

Our Film Office connects productions with skilled crew, diverse locations and filming-friendly local authorities, while the North East Production Fund invests in high-end, globally recognised content made here in the region.

To help the sector reach its full potential, through the North East Screen Industries Partnership (NESIP), funded by the combined authorities — Tees Valley Combined Authority (TVCA) and North East Combined Authority (NECA) — we drive investment, develop talent and create long-term opportunities across film, TV and digital.

The North East is the fastest-growing screen sector in the UK and a welcoming home where people can live, work and create world-class screen content — and we’re proud to champion the diverse stories, talent and businesses that make it happen.

Discover how our Film Office and Production Fund can support your next production in the North East.
