New Chapter for Rainbow Trout Films and Albion Street Studios

New Chapter for Rainbow Trout Films and Albion Street Studios

The Guardian described Halifax as the Shoreditch of the North; are we now seeing Halifax morphing into the Soho of the North?

With the increase in location filming in Calderdale, The Piece Hall becoming a prime music venue, Theatre and The Arts venues thriving, we are in exciting times!

Over the past 18 months we have been involved in the creation of an incredible new studio space for Calderdale College down in Dean Clough. James has been on the steering committee, advising on creating a high-spec filming space that is fit for purpose not just now, but in the future.

We firmly believe in building a partnership that helps the students get the experience and mentoring that they need from real-time filming and production, shaping skills that they can take with them to set our local talent above the rest.

By working together in a combined space, we are able to offer so much more for our clients – including disabled access, which we have been unable to provide at our current studio.

This is not the end of an era at Albion Street Studios, but an exciting leap into the future of film and photography as we move to our new offices – Albion Street Studios @ D Mill, Deanclough!

The relocation brings you a new photography studio, a designated podcast suite, video and photo editing and access to the new studio and all the other fantastic facilities that Dean Clough offers!

We know you’ll all be clamouring to come and visit, so watch this space for our official opening in the New Year!

Bucket List item ✅

I can now officially say that I’m an International Speaker. 🎙️

It has been an honour and privilege to have been invited to be a guest speaker at the 10th Anniversary event San Francisco International Airport with China Southern Airlines North America.

It was great to share my experiences when filming the documentary series The Inflight Food Trip when we visited Guangzhou and New York 🇨🇳🇺🇸

Lots of new acquaintances formed. I’m very much looking forward to new collaborations going forward.

A huge thanks to Chih-Chin Sun at EMMA WORLDWIDE for making this happen.

Great to meet and the rest of the team.
