This is a gorgeous space , large open loft style.Perfect for holding, creating multiple sets ect. Lots of props, furniture , around. There are two rooms to use as sets. Floating walls available. We are a tiny movie and did not have time to scout before hand. Glenn recommended we do that, but we were already filming on Staten Island, and there wasn't time to get to NJ. The OBGYN office we hoped to find , as pictured on the site, ( photo has since been ammended, to more basic set with things to be found there), was instead a room filled with office style tables. Perhaps this was our fault , again- for not scouting.. but it was a scramble to find the OBGYN table they had there, move what was in there out, ect. Beginners mistake. If you are Set Decorating by giggster , best to scout , as Glenn suggested...!!!! So you know what you will find when crew arrives ready to load in. MY FAULT. And glad Glenn changed the photo on the listing. Largely the same, but the other had a few set decorating touches that were not there, but easy to procure. In advance. For hospital birthing room we had rented equipment. Needed specific hospital bed for birthing scene, ect and we knew we would not find it there, as not listed on the site. And Glenn was very helpful with having it dropped off day before, with loading it in, there is a freight elevator, conveyor belt ect. So overall a positive experience, beginners mistake aside...cast and crew loved the enormous space that's light and airy and feels more loft like than warehouse!

Incredible location for a film shoot...on every front! House is just as Gorgeous or even more so than seen in listing. Patty is an absolutely incredible host. Handled multiple date changes with grace and willingness to be flexible, always responding immediately.. as well as being willing to acomidate last minute scouting ...holding area for film crew was immense.. huge converted basement accommodated video village, sound ect and enormous back yard and two large patio ( a third smaller one was not used by us) areas as well were enjoyed by those who wished to step away from the fray...giant garage made it easy to unload equipment through basement door. We had use of the entire house , so make up, hair and changing areas for actors were aplenty, multiple bathrooms... Simply CANNOT recommend highly enough! 🙏🙏🙏🙏, Patty !!!

You can’t possibly have a better experience with a location. Karen was supremely helpful and generously accommodating during our booking process trying to figure out the right times and circumstances that worked for us and our schedule. The on site rep was very sweet snd supportive and present to help us get what everything we needed without hovering or being an imposition (as on site reps usually are). The location itself, goes without saying, is beautiful and rich, you can point the camera literally anywhere and you’ll be fine. 10/10 would book again any chance I get!!

Tons of room for holding , ect indoors and out, and Patty the host/ owner went above and beyond, accommodating multiple date / time changes of booking and scouting with grace and patience...always getting back immediately. Overwhelmed with gratitude and eager for others to know/ have the experience we did!!!!

We had an incredible experience filming at this location! Many extras, an occasional thunderstorm, which warranted interior holding for all was provided in great comfort and with cheerful good will by Erna and her family. The basketball court provided for a set we couldn't have found elsewhere. Can not recommend highly enough!!!

Film Shoot Options in Birmingham

Organising a film shoot is tough work. There’s a lot to think about: location, actors, costume, makeup, scheduling, sound, lighting, cameras—the list goes on! To ease the burden, why not hire some local businesses to help out? Birmingham is home to several talented businesses that can help reduce the stress of your film shoot, including film set caterers, equipment hire experts and reliable transport companies.

  • Catering
    Film shoots are intense. Fifteen or sixteen-hour days are not uncommon, and the work can be extremely tiring for all involved. Therefore, you must ensure that all people on set are looked after throughout the day. That’s where a reputable caterer comes in really handy. A top-notch caterer will ensure that your cast and crew are fed and hydrated throughout the day, so that they’ve got more energy to channel into the shoot!
  • Equipment Hire
    Your production will require a considerable amount of equipment: cameras, lenses, lighting, microphones, furniture, props, costumes and much more. Thankfully, several highly reputable equipment hire companies in Birmingham and the surrounding areas can help you source the equipment you require.

Pros and Cons of Film Shoot Locations in Birmingham

Advantages

  • Attractions
    Birmingham offers a wide selection of exciting attractions, including the popular Bullring shopping district, Cadbury World, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the National Sea Life Centre and much more! You’re bound to find something interesting to do when you’re not required on set.
  • Transport network
    Birmingham has an excellent transport network because of its size and national significance, meaning you can travel quickly and easily across the city to get to film shoot locations. Furthermore, you can easily reach various other major UK cities, including London and Manchester.
  • Proximity to nature
    Although Birmingham is known primarily as a concrete metropolis, the city offers plenty of peaceful green space where you can relax and unwind in nature after a busy day. Birmingham’s popular parks include Birmingham Wildlife Conservation Park, Kings Heath Park, Sutton Park and Woodgate Valley Country Park. We can’t think of a nicer way to relax after a busy day of filming!

Disadvantages

  • Crowds
    Around 41.8 million visitors flock to Birmingham annually. As you can imagine, the city can quickly become quite crowded, especially on weekends or when popular events are happening. Unfortunately, large crowds are not ideal if you want to film in certain locations without being interrupted!

  • Traffic congestion
    Unfortunately, traffic in Birmingham is a problem. The city is one of the most congested in the UK and, to make matters worse, has the most personal injury claims from road accidents. So make sure to set off for your chosen film shoot locations early to account for traffic.
