The North's screen development agencies have combined to secure a £2.3m investment aimed at building a skilled workforce across the regions.
North East Screen has joined forces with Screen Yorkshire, Liverpool Film Office and Screen Manchester to form Screen Alliance North, a BFI skills cluster which has collectively been awarded BFI National Lottery Funding to make the sector more accessible and representative.
The BFI has announced an initial roll out of £8.1m to its partners across the UK, to support the screen production workforce through skills clusters, helping organisations to work collaboratively with local industry, education and training providers to develop pathways to long-term employment in film and TV production.
