Screen Manchester
Crew & Facilities Service
Due to the region’s ever-growing popularity from indigenous, national and International productions, there is increasing demand for experienced local crew and facility companies. To meet this demand, Screen Manchester is delighted to announce the creation of a regional Crew and Facilities service.
Our aim is to provide an essential database resource for production companies looking to hire experienced locally based freelance crew and source facilities across Manchester and the wider region. Whatever the size or genre of production, Screen Manchester will help source the right people to enable your shoot to run smoothly and successfully.
They would now like to invite experienced production freelancers and facility companies to register here in order to be included within their database. By joining you will be supporting the growth and connectivity of our regional network.
Some of the productions that Screen Manchester has supported include The Crown, It’s A Sin, Coronation Street, Brassic, Cold Feet, Peaky Blinders, Safe, The A Word, A Very English Scandal and Morbius and we look forward to showcasing to new productions the world class talent and services our region has available.
For Productions interested in searching their database please note they will be launching the ‘live’ search element soon, in the meantime if you would like to contact to their crew and facilities manager to discuss your requirements, please visit the Screen Manchester website
