Bristol’s booming film and television production sector has seen rapid growth over recent years despite Covid-19 disruption and a lack of external investment, according to new analysis.
Research from the University of West England (UWE) Bristol found aggregate turnover within the city’s screen industry more than doubled over five years from £140.3m in 2016 to £288m in 2021.
The study also established the number of independent production companies operating in the city increased during the period from 131 to 189.
