£6m boost for film and TV makers in Liverpool
Britain's new 'Capital of Culture 2008' is celebrating again after securing six million pounds to develop and strengthen the vibrant and thriving film, TV and media industry in Merseyside.
Liverpool, the 'Hollywood of the North', has been given the massive cash injection from the Merseyside Objective One programme. North West Vision, the television, film and moving image agency for England's Northwest, successfully bid for the money and will use it to develop and encourage new talent and build strong businesses in Merseyside.
Liverpool is already recognised as one of the most film friendly city in the UK and is currently doubling up as New York for the remake of the film 'Alfie' starring Jude Law. The money will ensure that the local industry is developed to reinforce and build on the already strong reputation.
North West Vision will create over two hundred and seventeen jobs as a result of investing in local companies and innovative TV programmes and films. The funding will also be used to encourage strong partnerships and co-production whilst working with local industry broadcasters, new and existing companies and new talent.
