One of the boroughs talented self-starters and Make it Here alumnis, Ilie Gorea, has had an article published about him (in bio), discussing his creative endeavors, his extensive credit list and how Barking and Dagenham College and our Make it Here programme helped him flourish.

We had a wonderful time delivering our Location Marshalls Bootcamp earlier this year to our talented young individuals from Barking and Dagenham. A major shout out goes to the companies who assisted in helping this run over the two-days. #makeithere #setready #barking #dagenham

RED EYE, premiering on ITV X on the 21st April at 9pm, stars Jing Lusi, Richard Armitage, Lesley Sharp & Jemma Moore. Sequences in the series were filmed in the local borough at our location, The Science Park. #makeithere #filmbarkinganddagenham #redeye #thesciencepark

Eastbrookend Country Park and Nature Reserve is a gorgeous and vast 84-hectare park filled with nature trails, horse grazed meadows, marshlands & ponds, boasting free car parking with easy access by car via the A12 & A13. Come film here in both the day and evening. #makeithere

The Science Park is a diverse, multi-use space perfect for both interior and exterior shooting. From the exposed brickwork, derelict basements, all the way to the light tunnels and office space, this location can be used for photography and is versatile for any kind of filming.

The Switch is a 3-Storey, exposed brick derelict building with large windows, textured walls, with an original staircase to all floors and long corridors. There is access to the second floor roof providing access for stunt work. Come and film here! Link in our bio. #makeithere

Ahead of the BAFTAs this weekend, read Deputy Mayor for Culture @JustineSimons1 on why we need to nurture the industry.

MR BATES vs THE POST OFFICE. We’re honoured to have hosted and supported some of the scenes at locations in Dagenham for such a pivotal drama, which has help to bring to the forefront one of the UK’s biggest scandals. Justice for the postmasters! ⚖️ #MadeinBarkingandDagenham
