Location: Norfolk, United Kingdom

Commissioned by the New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, Norfolk County Council and Norfolk District Councils, this study on Norfolk's screen sector utilised in-depth desk research, consultations and an inaugural industry survey to create an evidence base of the value, size and shape of the film, television, animation and commercials sectors in the English county of Norfolk.

The study’s deliverables included the creation of a database of Norfolk's production companies, crew and infrastructure, and ultimately provided recommendations for the sector's future support, development and marketing. The study also drew from examples of approaches from elsewhere in the UK in considering how Norfolk can become a location of choice for the national and international screen sector.
