It’s the Baftas on February 18 and across the film industry outfit planning is in full flow. The red carpet will unfold on London’s Southbank for a glorious celebration of creativity and talent. But a bit like an iceberg, what we see on the surface is only a fraction of the story. Below the waterline there is so much more going on.
We get a glimpse of it when we see the credits roll at the end of a film, so many people, so many strange job titles. A whole ecosystem of hard-working producers, directors, editors, make-up, costume, carpentry, locations, studios, film schools and more. In fact, over the last five years film production generated £10 billion of inward investment into London.
