It contributed to the “highest ever recorded” local spend.
Filming major movies and TV shows in Glasgow generated almost £58 million for the city’s economy last year, a new report has revealed.
The report stated the total spend is “the highest ever recorded due to the large-scale Warner Bros’ production Batgirl, with estimated production spend increased by 36% from 2021, and an almost 200% increase from local spend in 2018”. Productions shot in the city over 2022 included Mayflies, Granite City, Annika, Crime, Guilt 3, Step 9, The Elect, Loss & Return and Falling Into Place.
Glasgow Film Office was established in 1997 and aims to provide a production liaison service as well as market Glasgow as an “attractive and viable” location for film crews. The council report includes feedback from location managers who have brought productions to the city. Jeremy Kleiner, World War Z producer, said: "The co-operation we had from the Glasgow Film Office and indeed from across the city council made it all possible, and the people of Glasgow were incredibly welcoming. It's been a very successful shoot here."
