Reading Film Services: Connecting Local Talent with Opportunities

At Reading's Economy & Destination Agency (REDA), we are developing Reading Film Services to support the growth of our local film industry. With the opening of Shinfield Studios, Reading is becoming a hotspot for film productions and our aim is to ensure that local talent and businesses benefit from these exciting opportunities.

Film Professionals Directory 

We are in the process of creating a directory of local film professionals and services to:

• Support local talent by connecting filmmakers, crew, creatives, tradespeople, and businesses with incoming productions.
• Boost local businesses by linking them with film productions in need of services such as accommodation, transport, and catering.
• Simplify the production process, making Reading a go-to destination for film companies.
