At Sussex Film Office, our mission is simple: to make Sussex one of the most film friendly county in the UK. That means providing productions with instant access to skilled, reliable, and production-aware crew, cast, and suppliers, people who know how to deliver under pressure.
We’re building a network of trusted professionals who understand the realities of filming – from last-minute requests to tight budgets and fast turnarounds and who take pride in excellent communication and collaboration.
