A film and television agency working to bolster Yorkshire's presence on screen has introduced new ways of promoting the region's locations as lockdown rules ease.

As Covid-19 safety guidelines are relaxed and much of the UK’s film and TV industry looks ahead to resuming production this autumn, Screen Yorkshire’s Film Office team has been looking at innovative ways that it can support an increase in new production enquiries.

The team has been collaborating with property owners at some of Yorkshire’s most popular filming locations and studios to deliver "virtual recces" - where producers are shown around a potential site for use - in recent weeks.

The organisation is also planning to support a number of socially distanced recces in the region.

Castle Howard in North Yorkshire has been used in a number of films and television shows, including Brideshead Revisited. Picture: James Hardisty.
