Equipment supplier Filmscape Media opens office at Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol

Major movie equipment supplier Filmscape Media has opened an office at The Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol in western England. Bristol becomes its first regional office outside its London base and the company will be focussing on developing its lighting division.

“We wanted to establish a base in Bristol from which to serve the West of England region and develop our lighting division,” commented Renos Louka, Technical Director at Filmscape Media.

“We feel that The Bottle Yard Studios are a crucial driver of industry growth in the region and so in our view they were the perfect match to help realise our ambitions. Our new base enables us to serve the local area as well as be on hand at the Studios to offer our services, so it’s the ideal location for us.”

Added Fiona Francombe, The Bottle Yard Studios’ Managing Director: “We’re delighted to welcome Filmscape Media to our tenant community, and proud that they have chosen to open their very first regional office with us as they develop their lighting division further.

“They join our existing business tenants Visual Impact and 180 Rental to further strengthen our offering of high-standard specialist audiovisual services. With every new company that joins us, The Bottle Yard’s creative hub grows stronger, which is great to see.”

Filmscape’s lighting division will offer HMI lighting, Fresnel lighting, Kino Flo, lighting grip and cable distribution.

The Bottle Yard offers 300,000 square feet of production space. It hosted major Channel 4 historical miniseries New Worlds in 2013 and is currently home to the BBC’s major period drama Wolf Hall.
