WUTHERING HEIGHTS Mammoth Screen returned to Yorkshire to shoot ‘Wuthering Heights’ after filming ‘Lost in Austen’ in the region. Screen Yorkshire invested in both productions through its Production Fund creating jobs for crew, regional production spend as well as securing positions for a number of regional trainees. “We have a very successful and ongoing relationship with Screen Yorkshire and the Yorkshire region, most recently with our critically acclaimed production ‘Lost in Austen’ which was shot and partially post produced in the region. The wonderful diversity of landscape and locations all within a reasonable travelling distance made Yorkshire the natural home for filming our new adaptation of ‘Wuthering Heights’.” JON WILLIAMS // Head of Production MAMMOTH SCREEN // “Without Screen Yorkshire’s investment and support, the project would not have been possible. This, coupled with the stunning locations on offer, meant Yorkshire was clearly the place to base the production. Screen Yorkshire’s valuable investment and production support along with the fantastic crew and facilities in the region enabled us to deliver a production of which we are extremely proud.” MICHELE BUCK // Producer MAMMOTH SCREEN //

RED RIDING Three films on different formats by three different directors shooting at the same time throughout Yorkshire. That was the challenge for the producers of the ‘Red Riding Trilogy’ – three features for Channel 4 adapted from the quartet of ‘Yorkshire Noir’ crime thrillers by David Peace. Screen Yorkshire had been involved in the project from the start, initially optioning the rights on the books before Revolution Films got involved and Channel 4 commissioned them. Screen Yorkshire invested £100,000 per film to secure the production for the region creating jobs for Yorkshire crew and inward investment. The success of the films means that the investment will be recouped to be re-invested in further productions. ”We wanted to make the look of the film real but in a surprising way so we used lots of contemporary but brutalist, 1970’s architecture, I just don’t think we could have filmed anywhere else. We didn’t feel lacking in anything whilst we were in Yorkshire, we used local crew and it was just a really good experience to be working with people who knew their way around.” JAMES MARSH // Director REVOLUTION FILMS // Channel 4 // Red Riding (1980)

VeryMuchSo Screen Yorkshire invested £27,250 into the feature documentary producer VeryMuchSo so it could develop a slate of five films. The award-winning company based in Sheffield had produced a trilogy of films about North Korea and other feature documentaries but faced difficulties in growing the company further and having the resource to develop a slate of projects. The Screen Yorkshire investment will also allow the company to investigate alternative methods of distribution.
BestFrontSeat - IPTV BestFrontSeat were supported by Screen Yorkshire to develop their high quality streaming IPTV offering.

VIGILANTE “The experience of making ‘Vigilante’ was invaluable to me as a filmmaker, and I’d like to thank Screen Yorkshire not just for funding the project, but also for the development, support and encouragement they gave me throughout the process. Thanks to them, I have had the privilege of seeing my work screened at festivals across the world and have picked up two awards for the film in the process. The challenges involved in making a short film are only truly realised when you have a production on the horizon, and I have learnt so much about successful filmmaking thanks to the opportunities afforded me by Screen Yorkshire.” DARREN BOLTON Writer/Director //
Set in the quiet and idyllic village of Hewson, ‘Vigilante’ is a dark and satirical mockumentary that follows one member of a village group as he sets out to eradicate crime and anti-social behaviour and asks ultimately, to what lengths should we and would we go to make our community a better place? ‘Vigilante’ was commissioned under the Screen Yorkshire Digital Shorts scheme, and went on to win ’Best Yorkshire Short’ at Glimmer 2009, and an accolade at The Accolade Competition.

TRAINEE SCHEMES I first got in touch with Screen Yorkshire when I registered on the crew and facilities database as an Accounts Trainee, and was contacted by the accountant working on The Damned United. I was hesitant about leaving my 9-5 job to take on work as a freelancer, but with Screen Yorkshire’s help I have since worked on three regionally-based major productions and have never looked back. Screen Yorkshire funded these placements as well as providing me with help, support and guidance in the form of CV workshops, networking events, and funding for Sage training, which I have put into practice on my most recent job (Married, Single Other). The team always follow my progress and give me help to keep my career on the right path, and I am very grateful for their continued support. NICK HODSON // Accounts trainee

Screen Yorkshire’s investment in film education projects aims to get young people and community groups interested in making and watching films. Three films at Scunthorpe Young People’s Film Festival were supported by Screen Yorkshire. Destination Steeltown is an intergenerational project which takes a look at how life has changed for a group of Muslim elders since they emigrated to the UK in the 60s. Young people from the Madani Youth Organisation in Scunthorpe interviewed and filmed them in their mosque and neighbourhood. The second film, Triptych, follows two young serial offenders and the third project, It’s not all Gaga, involved the Barton Youth Band.
