Thinking of locating your production in Glasgow? GFO can provide support to productions by offering an organised recce for key personnel including up to two nights accommodation and the services of a professional location scout. Transport for this will also be provided.
The recce will give you and your colleagues a chance to see what Glasgow has to offer in terms of locations, crew and facilities. GFO can set up initial meetings with local crew if required.
Please email info@glasgowfilm.com for further details and conditions of eligibility for the Recce Support Fund. |
Glasgow Film Office will help to make filming in the city as uncomplicated as possible. Our service is entirely free and our experienced staff is on hand to deal with any query you may have.
In 1997, Glasgow City Council and Strathclyde Police signed the Film Charter for the City of Glasgow, which ensures that productions filming in the city have co-operation from filming liaison officers in Glasgow City Council departments and the Police. Glasgow Film Office can also provide location agreements for Council owned property and provide liaison with other statutory services and organisations.
GFO can help you find the right locations for your production. Our extensive online database is completely free of charge. You can email us at info@glasgowfilm.com for further information about any of the featured locations.
Glasgow plays host to numerous features and TV dramas each year and both BBC Scotland and Scottish Media Group have their headquarters in Glasgow. This has helped to create a crew base of 600+ skilled crew in almost all grades and departments, facilities and services including camera hire, lighting hire, facility vehicles, special effects and extras casting, as well as a rapidly increasing post-production sector. Further information about crew, facilities and services can be found in the Scottish film directory Film Bang www.filmbang.com, but do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.
Our aim is to help Glasgow maintain its film-friendly reputation for incoming productions as well as promoting the local crew, facilities and services. All we ask in return is that you provide basic information regarding your production so that we can continue to provide a first-rate service to film-makers. All information received by Glasgow Film Office will be treated in the strictest confidence.
