Film Up North offers location scouting and management to producers, production companies and events professionals from around the world. Film Up North is a partnership of talented Northern based Scouts and Location Managers in Manchester and beyond. We know the North like the back of our hands and all the best places to shoot.
Are you looking for a particular location in the North to fit your brief? Our local knowledge and experience will get you the right locations as defined in your creative vision.
Do you need a Location Manager to manage your forthcoming shoot in the North? We are here to help with all your location logistics, attend Tech Recces and look after your locations department.
Have you got a planned shoot which requires permission to film on the public highway? Filming permits can take anything from a couple of days to a week, depending on how complex your shoot is.
Organising a road closure can be a tricky task and we are here to alleviate that challenge. A normal lead time to close a road is around 6 weeks. This depends on which roads require control and which Local Authority we are liaising with. We work with a number of traffic management contractors to ensure all the paperwork such as a Traffic Management Plan is compiled correctly and submitted to the right people.
