About Us
Screen Berkshire (the BFI Berkshire Skills for Screen Cluster) was formed in April 2023 & officially launched October 2023.
This cluster is led by Resource Productions CIC, University of Reading, Shadowbox Studios Shinfield, Amazon MGM Studios, Bedlam Film Ltd, and Berkshire Film Office, (representing Wokingham, Slough, Windsor & Maidenhead, Bracknell Forest, West Berkshire and Reading councils).
We act as a bridge between local residents, freelance crew, training providers, studios, suppliers and content producers.
Working together we identify skills gaps, facilitate training and develop pathways to employment.
If you are a BERKSHIRE (UK) resident please register with Resource Productions to receive updates on support, training, events and work.
