How to access our Production Fund
Screen Yorkshire Production Fund is a digital media content development and production fund, supported by Yorkshire Forward, our Regional Development Agency. It is an investment fund that will help to develop a long-term and successful production sector in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

In partnership with other public and private sector financiers, we will invest in projects and companies to:
· nurture talent in Yorkshire and Humber
· attract people and productions to the region
· help establish markets and grow the regional production sector
· encourage creative and technical innovation
· encourage access for creative and business talent from all sectors of society
· attract new audiences
We support projects across the whole range of digital media activity, including:
· feature films (drama and documentary)
· television programming (drama and factual)
· video and computer games
· new media

made in yorkshirewuthering heights
Mammoth Screen returned to Yorkshire in 2008 following the success of their shoot for Lost in Austen to film a new adaptation of Wuthering Heights for ITV. Leading contemporary screen and television writer Peter Bowker was commissioned to adapt Emily Bronte's world famous love story for the two part drama, which stars Tom Hardy as Heathcliff alongside Charlotte Riley as Cathy (pictured).
Filming took place at several locations across West Yorkshire and The Yorkshire Dales. Wuthering Heights distinguished swedish cinematographer Ulf Brantas, who swapped his native landscape for Yorkshire says:
''We had the opportunity to shoot in some amazingly beautiful locations in and around the moors, and it is hard to pick one day or a specfifc location that was my favourite. There were quite a few moments, though, when I was sincerely telling myself to try and do justice to it all.''
Wuthering Heights is supported by Screen Yorkshire through its Production Fund. The two-part drama is now available on DVD and Blu-ray.
