Help for Filmmakers
The region of Dumfries and Galloway
has the reputation of being one of the ‘film-friendliest’ in
Scotland and the South West Scotland Screen Commission, part
of Dumfries and Galloway Council, offers you a completely
free service:
- Location Finding
We
can help you find the locations that best suit what you
are looking for. We can email you images, or you can visit
the office to look at our photographs on file. We can also
send you maps of the region.
- Contacts
We can
supply contacts for location owners, all Council departments,
including our very helpful Roads department, the police
and other emergency services, the Tourist Board, and useful
local services.
We also have good contacts with National
organisations: Historic Scotland, National Trust for Scotland,
Scottish Natural Heritage and the Forestry Commission.
- Press Liaison
We
promise to provide a completely confidential and discreet
service. We can also deal with press enquiries on your
behalf and are happy to send press releases on your behalf
around the region (useful if you’re looking for extras
or props).
In addition to the information on training, useful
contacts and accommodation that
you will find in this section - you may also find the Film
Funding section useful.
If you can’t find what you are looking
for, please get in touch.
