Screen Yorkshire Announces Production Slate
Screen Yorkshire has added five major film and TV investments to its production slate with a total value of £2m investment from the Yorkshire Content Fund.
The productions are Ecosse Films' VE-day feature Girls' Night Out; World Productions' two feature length dramas for BBC1 entitled The Great Train Robbery; Warp Films' hotly anticipated feature '71; gritty West Yorkshire chase movie Catch Me Daddy from Emu Films; and A Miracle a UK-French-German-Turkish co-production. This production slate will lead to over £20m of production spend and create many jobs in Yorkshire and Humber. The Yorkshire Content Fund recently invested in six-part BBC2 epic gangster drama Peaky Blinders which filmed in autumn 2012 and will invest £7.5m of European Regional Development Funding into TV, film, games and digital.
Sally Joynson, Chief Executive of Screen Yorkshire, said: "These investments are the culmination of a fantastic first year for the Yorkshire Content Fund, which is attracting the very best in UK producers and talent to the region. '71 is one of the most anticipated features yet from Sheffield's prolific Warp Films, Ecosse's Girls' Night Out will have significant international appeal and World Productions continue to be one of the UK's leading drama producers. Along with our investment in BBC2’s Peaky Blinders we are now building a very strong production slate across TV and film, providing much-needed jobs and inward investment worth several million pounds. We will also be announcing soon a number of new investment schemes to support Yorkshire’s new creative talent."
