FILMING IN THE UK – AN OPPORTUNITY

The United Kingdom has always been a dream destination of Indian Directors and filmmakers. To encourage filmmakers to bring their film shoots to UK the government offers a 20 -25% Rebate on the qualified film expenses. Our company Forever Filmoholics provides a total solution for all the Filming needs in the UK. Following are the key services we offer:

1.UK Company Formation : To receive the film rebate directly into the bank account of the Filming company it is required that they have a British Ltd company. We help the Producers of the Film to open an SPV ( Special Purpose Vehicle) Ltd Company in the UK to facilitate the entire process of Filming in the UK and receiving the film rebate.

2.Local Line Production : With our over 14 years of experience as Line Producers in the UK we help the Production company with cost effective solutions for all their filming needs.

3.Film Rebate Management : We at Forever Filmoholics help the Film Production Company through the entire process of Film rebate.
