With a heritage of film and television production dating back to the early 20th century and growing opportunities across the film, television and creative sectors, 2022 will see the opening of Sky Studios, the new sound stages at the Council owned Elstree Studios and the launch of the Hertsmere Creative Fund, which will see ?100k pa released to support creativity within the wider community.
