Facilities Database

Northern Exposure an online database showcasing over 3,000 freelance crew, facilities and production companies based right across the North of England: from Sunderland to Sheffield; from Blackpool to Bridlington.

It is hoped that Northern Exposure will highlight the scope of freelance crew and other resources available in the North to feature film, TV and other projects both nationally and internationally, as well as providing increased employment support to the North’s dynamic and mobile freelance workforce. .

Sir Ian McKellan (actor), Paul Abbott (TV writer), Peter Kay (comedian and writer), Frank Cottrell Boyce (film writer), Danny Boyle (film director), Michael Winterbottom (film director) are just a few of the established TV/film names to launch their careers in the Northwest. And we’re confident our Crew Database contains many more ‘names’ of the future.

Everyone registered on our Northern Exposure can compete for the accolade to be named Vision and Media’s Crew and Facility of the Month, entitling them to the full support of our communications department, with regional and even national publicity, raising your profile and hoping attracting even more offers of work.
