South-East Queensland is reaping the economic benefits following Brisbane’s rapid recognition as a favourable film destination for Hollywood films, commercials, and music videos.
The industry has injected more than $73 million into the regional economy with Screen Queensland being a key player in attracting productions to Brisbane.
A report by lifestyle and community services customer manager, Shane Hackett, showed filming is increasing every year.
Mr Hackett said, "Compared to the filming approvals in Brisbane in 2011 to 2012, the number of approvals has doubled for 2017 to 2018, having progressively increased each year.”
