Welcome to Film Link Limited

OpenBrolly is delighted to announce another new client for its MovieSite service. Film Link Ltd is due to start operations in January, formed in partnership with University of Hertfordshire, Exemplas, Elstree Studios and Leavesden Studios.

The new service will officially start in January 2011 and will replace the locations services offered by Screen East.

With support from Hertfordshire County Council, Film Link aims to provide help to film-makers interested in filming on location in the East of England. Kerry Ixer, director of filming-related services at Film Link, said: “Film Link recognised the opportunity left by Screen East, made a bid and has successfully acquired Screen East’s locations and film crew database.

“It is our intention to continue to offer a high quality film and television locations service to the filming industry.”

Last year £38.5m was spent on location filming in the East of England.
