Film and television production in Bristol has generated more than £20m for the local economy in the last financial year, new figures show. The sum is a 22% increase on pre-pandemic figures and the largest contribution that filming-related activity has made towards Bristol’s economy in a decade, the Bristol Film Office said.
Shows including Am I Being Unreasonable?, The Outlaws, Chloe, Showtrial and The Girl Before are just some of the screen hits made in Bristol which contributed towards the total revenue.
The amount of filming that took place in the city was up by 10%, with 1,067 filming days carried out at the Bristol City Council-owned Bottle Yard Studios and/or on location assisted by Bristol Film Office. A total of 709 licences were issued by Bristol Film Office, permitting filming to take place on council-owned streets, properties and green spaces.
