We are an award-winning commercial production company that has been working at the forefront of the UK film industry since 1997.

With offices in both Manchester and Edinburgh, we deliver a huge spectrum of commercial film production for regional, national and international clients. From high-end TV and cinema commercials, to sponsorship idents and interactive online campaigns…we’re the people you’re looking for.

We have become one of the first choices for filming in the UK because we are continually innovating and improving what we can offer our clients. It's an approach that has seen the Gate awarded Film Production Company of the Year three times in the last four years by The Drum magazine.

As one of the country’s leading film production companies, the Gate boasts a roster of directors that combines BAFTA winners and Cannes nominees, with some of the hottest emerging talent from the UK and beyond. We have built our first-class reputation by seeking-out and fostering new talent, in order to offer the best possible pool of creative talent to our clients.

Just this year at the at Cannes International Advertising Festival, Mark Jewitt was declared one of the top five young commercials directors in Europe by Shots Magazine and CFP-E. Further to this, Eicke Bettinga was recently the only director of a British film to be shortlisted during International Critics Week at the Cannes Film Festival. Our directing duo Tom & Rory were recently named in Shots Magazine’s hottest 100 new directors on the planet, so you can see… We’re not just making this stuff up.

Our senior directors deserve a bit of a mention too, as they continue to work on some of the world's most recognisable brands including Sony, Hoover, Barclays, BBC, McDonalds, Kelloggs, and Unilever to name but a few.

With a twenty strong production team across our offices in England and Scotland, plus an entire broadcast-specification edit facility with three brand-new post-production suites in-house, the Gate Films delivers an unrivalled creative production experience.

Our production experience, honed over 15 years in TV commercial production, has now also been twinned with a cutting edge digital skill-base to provide clients such as Vodafone and HSBC with some of the very best online video and film production services in the UK. In the last year, we pioneered a number of interactive video productions across both owned and bought media from viral campaigns to cost-saving customer service solutions.

The fact that we are one of the largest film production companies in the country gives us a certain amount of buying power, and this means we are able to deliver significant cost savings and therefore make commercial production budgets go much further.

As well as producing work in our own right, this situation means we are also able to provide first class Film Production Services (Facilitation), for other film companies and advertising agencies in the UK and around the world.

Our International clients are able to take advantage of stunning and original locations by Filming in the North of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Equally, by filming in Manchester with the Gate, clients have easy access to many of the premiership footballers and stadiums.

In short, if you’re looking to shoot in the UK, you’ve come to the right bunch.
