A screen agency which aims to grow TV and film opportunities in the North East has moved into a new base at Riverside Sunderland.
North East Screen officially moved into its new office at The Beam last week and the move puts the organisation at the heart of the region as it looks to develop the skills required to turn it into a centre of excellence for the screen industries.
Supported by the North East Screen Industries Partnership (NESIP), the agency ensures new entrants to the industry have the skills to access work opportunities, making it easier for production companies to film in the North East as well as raising the region’s global profile. The move also brings 17 skilled jobs to the city.
