The Answer for Aspiring filmmakers

The Glasgow Film Office

Are you someone with a fresh idea or great tale to tell but no location?  Well, choose Glasgow and this could be the assistance that you have been searching for;
The Glasgow Film Office (GFO) is the film commission for Glasgow and offers a free service to all producers wanting to film in the city.  No matter if it is for a commercial, music video, short film or TV series, the Glasgow Film Office acts as a ‘middle man’ to provide location and crewing advice among other things to kick start your production.

Many successful productions have been filmed, or at least partly, in Glasgow.  Examples of such are TV series 'Taggart', Royal Bank of Scotland adverts and even Hollywood star- Brad Pitt filmed his latest movie 'World War Z' in our very own George Square.
