Dumfries and Galloway Council and Scottish Borders Council, working through the South of Scotland Screen Partnership and supported by South West Media Factory, are seeking to build a comprehensive picture of the talent, expertise, and services available within the local film and television industry. The South of Scotland is home to a range of professionals and businesses, from experienced crew and freelancers to production companies and specialist support services.
This project aims to identify individuals, businesses, and facilities that can support film and television production in the region. By building on existing knowledge, the initiative will help local talent and businesses connect with relevant opportunities as they arise. The development of a trusted, up-to-date network will enable suitable opportunities, which may involve commercially sensitive information and cannot always be promoted publicly, to be shared directly with relevant parties.
The initiative will also serve to showcase the breadth of expertise available locally, thereby strengthening the South of Scotland's profile as a region capable of supporting film and television production with talent, capability, and ambition.
Professionals working in film and TV, including freelancers, crew members, production companies, facilities, suppliers, and service providers to the screen industry, are encouraged to share their details. This information will help to showcase the strength of the South of Scotland's creative sector and ensure participants are kept informed about relevant opportunities.
