Yesterday saw the launch of Screen London Barnet; a new partnership between Barnet Council, Barnet Southgate College,  Troubadour Brent Cross Studios, and Middlesex University. The alliance is underpinned by Barnet Council’s Screen Skills Plan, which will establish the Borough as a leading hub in the UK’s growing screen industries including film, television, animation, gaming, immersive technologies, and digital media.

Cllr Barry Rawlings, Leader of Barnet Council, said: “Barnet has a strong record of attracting innovation and investment and Screen London Barnet is the next step in ensuring our residents benefit from the opportunities created in the creative industries across the borough. Through our Screen Skills Plan we are laying the foundations to make Barnet a prominent hub for film, TV and digital media while creating new training and job opportunities for local people.”
