A few testimonies by film makers that have worked with Greenwich Film Unit...
Michael Sharp – Supervising Location Manager
Quietus Productions
Feature film: Children of Men (December 2005)
"The production design for the set and scenes shot in Woolwich did not include any London landmarks, so theoretically we could have shot this sequence on allocation/town outside London. However, Greenwich Film Unit were very accommodating and understanding of our demanding range of requirements. This thankfully allowed us to dress and film two streets, giving us a wide range of architecture and control required for our exterior and interior filming.
"Woolwich played a large part of our location jigsaw, which has been very much appreciated, keeping the production as a London-based film and keeping our urban locations with the M25."
Tom McDonald - Location Manager
Wall to Wall TV
Documentary: George Orwell (January 2003)
"The Greenwich Film Unit is almost certainly the best borough unit in London- efficient, helpful, resourceful and understanding. The Officers are fully clued up on their borough and know the business so thoroughly that they make it look easy."
James Khoury - Location Manager
Faking It Productions
Drama: Faking it (December 2002)
"Out of all the boroughs I'd say Greenwich is definitely one of the most helpful."
David Broder - Location Manager
Drama: Armadillo (February 2001)
"The efficient service and positive approach has meant that I've always enjoyed working with the Greenwich Film Unit. Great at problem solving."
Simon Channings-Williams - Producer
Film: Mike Leigh's 'All or Nothing' (September 2000)
"The Film Unit were great. We were delighted with the help we received. They were incredibly sympathetic and supportive."
Robin Higgs - Location Manager
Film: American Girl (July 2002)
"Greenwich Film Unit are always incredibly helpful, flexible and friendly and made filming in Greenwich very comfortable for the 'What a Girl Wants' team. They provide results at very short notice with complete understanding of the needs and pressures of film making in the capital. I look forward to filming in the borough in the future."
