There are also financial incentives for production companies through UK tax credits and discretionary funding that Northern Ireland Screen uses to augment that.
"We had to build roads, sometimes you have to do that, you're creating carparks, building roads, depending on the budget of the production you're on." Aileen Martin of the Hastings Hotel Group said during the Covid pandemic the screen industry was vital. Richard Williams said it is becoming common for those working in the industry to bring their families with them.
Andrew Wilson said he has worked with "producers, directors from all over the world and they do have a good experience here, they enjoy Belfast, actors as well seem to enjoy it.

The lovely weather.
It's all about the money
They like rain ☔️
Why Not?
really u called us Northern Ireland congratulations bbc
Because the international screen industry saw us as cheap skilled labour in the wake of Game of Thrones. A notion actively promoted by our film commissioning body. Unfortunately we are now too rate savvy so the work will stop coming.. so we get 'know your place paddy' letters..
Stunning & varied scenery, never far from the sea, world class studio facilities & amazing weather. OK, I lied about the weather. 🤭
Cheap wages for highly skilled workers...
No government to have to negotiate with.
Is that a film of the DUP arriving in Stormonty Python?
Because it’s a great place with great ppl and is stunning sure ppl have their differences but it doesn’t have to be perfect to be wonderful
Because of its naturally good looking people, the beautiful accent and we’ve got north street which is handy for anything post apocalyptic and even comes with free zombies
Cheap labour, vast open spaces thanks to no investment in infrastructure and still in the EU Single Market
Cheap labour
Low prices & lots of choice?
Because it’s cheap and miserable
Continuity reasons mainly. It’s the same old sh!te every single day
