The filming of Great Expecations in Shrewsbury. Pictures: Sarah Creighton, Film Shropshire
Episodes of The Apprentice and Hunted, plus a raft of short films have followed. And there's optimism of things taking off further in the new year, with the launch of the Film Shropshire website."I came into the industry from a side angle really," he said."I run Visit Shropshire, a not for profit organisation, but I have worked in tourism for years.
"That meant that if a location manager or producer or any level of crew within a film's production team wanted to get in touch with Shropshire, they'd have to piece it all together themselves. "Our website will launch at the start of January with direct links to the road closure department. Having that relationship with the council is important and we can work together to alleviate any problems.
"So when Great Expectations was filming here, for example, we had people stopping in the Prince Rupert, Drapers Hall, The Abbots Mead etc. We had crew or actors and actresses in most of the hotels in the town.
