Find out what London can offer your projects on the ground, whether studios, locations or post-production; as well as get an up to the minute analysis of the new UK fiscal rules that could deliver up to a 20% credit on qualifying expenditure.

Join Film London, peacefulfish, leading legal firm Salans and some of the UK’s top producers to discuss the opportunities that London can offer you.
