Our next interview is with two sisters, Faye and Claire Newton who run a location scouting company and been involved in most of the major film productions in Liverpool.
The girls have worked on films such as Peaky Blinders, The Kingsman and Jack Ryan. In fact they’re so good at what they do, Barbara Broccoli from the Bond Franchise recently said that she used Liverpool Locations expertise to source and procure the authentic places to reflect the setting of Film Stars don’t die in Liverpool.
Faye and Claire are now helping others get into the industry because of a huge demand for production crew worldwide. They have developed an intense one day course to provide practical experience as a Location Scout.
