A world-leading, modern studio supporting the future of British film-making
The British film and TV industry is one of this county’s great ongoing success stories. In 2015 the UK overtook California in terms of the revenue earned from filmmaking. In a highly competitive industry, it continues to outperform. Leading this success is Buckinghamshire.
A significant history of blockbusters from Brief Encounter to the James Bond franchise and many other globally recognised film and TV productions make this area the focus of an essential part of the UK creative economy.
Bringing stories to life is a global industry and the UK and Buckinghamshire in particular boasts some of the world’s best storytellers. The expert artisans, technicians, designers, and creators who help to produce the world’s best films are found right here.
Owing to the national shortage of studio space, neighbouring counties such Hertfordshire have built a growing lead in space in recent years. As more is set to come forward, this represents a generational, strategic opportunity for Buckinghamshire. To keep our lead, and to support the thousands of businesses in Buckinghamshire that rely on the creative industry, we need more studio space.
Film production companies need a new and a better home in a business setting that provides the level of equipment and technical support that they demand. The British Film Institute, the UK government’s body responsible for the Film and TV sector, also shows that 1 in 5 young people list the screen sector as their dream career. These people need a visionary place to learn and grow, where the latest technology is used to its most dazzling effect.
Marlow Film Studio is designed by filmmakers, for filmmakers. We will provide cutting-edge technology, bring thousands of new local jobs, and will expand opportunities for the Buckinghamshire’s community of creative professionals – growing the permanent skills base in the Marlow area and offering long and rewarding careers.
