Norfolk Screen is thrilled to announce its new Patrons which include Bill Nighy, Rupert Everett and Sienna Guillory.

Bill Nighy had this to say about our beloved county... "Norfolk is a sensational part of England and provides rich pickings for film makers. I welcome the opportunity to promote both the county and the project".
Rupert Everett explained, "I am very proud to be a patron of Norfolk Screen, a service that encourages screen production in the glorious county of Norfolk as well as showcasing the talent and services that are on offer. Being born in Norfolk I am also aware of the endless possibilities the area can provide for filming locations and with a growth in the number of productions being made I couldn't think of a more incredible place to film".
Sienna who resides in Norfolk said…“It’s great to have a platform for local film makers and crew to support each other, film is a collaboration and the only way to create narrative is to help each other. Norfolk is an interesting place, with such variation within such a small area. From the gently rolling rural areas to the broad boned beaches and flint dashed villages. The flints themselves are as varied as the people”.
We are incredibly proud to be receiving support from such notable individuals who have made a huge impact on British and International Film.

Norfolk is hosting some very exciting productions, one of which is Sophie Hyde's latest project Good Luck to you, Leo Grande starring the fabulous Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack which shot in Norwich during March 2021. Norfolk Screen was approached by the production team prior to filming in Norfolk and we were delighted to signpost a number of local talent and services. This film is produced by Genesius Pictures. More information can be found here.
Also the highly anticipated Spencer filmed in Norfolk towards the end of March 2021 starring Hollywood actress Kristen Stewart. Norfolk Screen provided support early on to the the production team and was able to signpost them to key talent in the region which resorted in a successful experience for the production.
Another exciting production that has been happening in Norfolk during the end of March and early April 2021 is the Michael Winterbottom Drama The Sceptred Isle for Sky Drama which stars Sir Kenneth Branagh.
We look forward to providing more information around our involvement on two of these productions in the coming weeks.
Also streaming now on Netlfix is the Bollywood Adaptation of the bestselling Novel ‘The Girl on The Train’ which filmed scenes at Mid Norfolk Railway.
