| Comment | I have friends of friends who work in tv/film production and it's given them more jobs through the year. Have also heard first-hand examples of it filtering further down the regional supply chain (sourcing production materials, drivers required for ferrying crew and materials around, that sort of thing).
On top of that there's the crew buying things locally when they're filming, as a few other people say, but I think this is a quite small compared to the actual money going into production supply chains.
The city also charges by the day for filming, depending on the location and inconvenience caused. I think I remember hearing GCC was paid nearly a £1 million for a single production a couple of years ago. |
