Eastern Promise - The Podcast

BEST OF THE GUESTS: The East of England’s Screen Sector (Complete & Unabridged)

For the 'Best of the Guests', Eastern Promise brings together the most popular interviews that were originally released in two parts.  
LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION! For this delve into the Eastern Promise archive, we look to the silver screen, as Rachel Aldridge and Jim Horsfield of Screen Suffolk, Craig Higgins of Norfolk Screen and local film-maker Crispin Buxton share their insights about making movies in the East of England.  What does it mean for the local economy when a movie or TV studio rolls into town?  And does that offset the risk of having our best and brightest behind-the-camera talent poached?  We'll look at all that, and more.
So sit back and relax, grab your popcorn and enjoy our feature presentation...
