This City is Ours

“The support we have received from the Liverpool Film Office on This City Is Ours has been invaluable; from the assistance to finding our production base, prop store and accommodation to providing a wonderful studio space and linking us up with local production equipment suppliers. We’re also bowled over by the help and guidance we’re receiving in staging some of our action in iconic locations across the city.”

Katie Kearney, Line Producer, This City is Ours (Season 1).  

“I had the best experience I have had from any film office in any borough in any city in the world. From the moment I called in February, I was greeted with a friendly, highly efficient, positive and accommodating team that went out of their way to help. We were looking at Cardiff and London as well as cities in Scotland and Yorkshire but Liverpool had the best locations, service and willingness to help. Our US clients/ colleagues were equally impressed with the collaboration and well-planned shoot, and we have achieved an incredible result. I would highly recommend the city and the Liverpool Film Office to all my colleagues and contacts.”    

Eugene Strange, Supervising Location Manager 

“It’s not often you hear a city before you see it, but the Merseysound spreads far and wide. Though truth be told what you first hear barely begins to tell the full story of what the Look of Liverpool truly is. It is a remarkable city, a backdrop for local drama, a time portal to be transported back to a bygone age, the perfect parallel for international cityscapes. I doubt there are many places in the world that are so welcoming and so diverse. No matter the scale of production, The Liverpool Film Office is at the heart of it all, it is their knowledge of the city and their tireless dedication to supporting filming across the city that has brought so many stories to the screen and pride to the city.”    

Jethro Ensor, Location Manager 

Fountain of Youth

“The Liverpool Film Office has been outstanding in supporting our production. Their local knowledge and connections helped hugely with our hotel allocations. They are incredibly approachable and quick to help solve any requests that have come through to us. The welcome information they provided for Liverpool was perfect for the crew, and the overall service was unmatched. From helping source local crew and to facilitating special requests from our VIPs. I look forward to working with them again in the future!”

The team are a real asset to our great city bringing many high-profile film/TV productions to the city.

Paul Smyth, Liverpool Film Studios  

“Working with the Liverpool Film Office has been an absolute dream and has made the process of running our event in Liverpool so easy. We had a quick chat over the phone to give more info on the event and following that were supplied with an extensive list of options for hotels and restaurants that were fully costed and made narrowing down our choices so simple. Once we’d decided on a few options, Sharon set up viewings for all the venues and accompanied us on the day. Having her local knowledge as well as extensive insight into the venues we were looking at was completely invaluable and made making our final decisions that much easier and well informed. It’s great to see the film industry thriving in Liverpool right now and the support that the Film Office offer is incredibly helpful in streamlining planning your event. I’d highly recommend anyone thinking of running a film event or production in Liverpool to get in touch!”

So Awkward

“From the moment we first enquired about bringing ’So Awkward’ to Liverpool for its 7th season, the Liverpool Film Office, provided a superb resource on possible locations, hotels and crewing. Whatever the enquiry, it was dealt with efficiently and the professionals they introduced us too were always charming and looked to make our use of the city as easy as possible. The shoot was a great success and our actors, despite the difficulty of the pandemic, enjoyed their stay. Liverpool is a welcoming city, and the Liverpool Film Office is the gateway to ensuring the success of your production within the city.”
