Bristol’s film and television industry has a number of strengths, including natural history and animation. However, its relative success has created pressures in the area, such as high costs for office space and housing, and intense competition in some sub-sectors. In addition, the city’s film and television industry faces a diverse workforce, which can create problems in terms of pay, working conditions, and morale.
Besides Universal International Studios, there are other film productions that are filming in Bristol. Chloe is a psychological thriller produced by Mam Tor Productions.

The animation studios are located behind Aardman’s headquarters. Behind the Aardman offices is the Banana Warehouse, which was once a warehouse where bananas were shipped from Avonmouth. Here, ideas for animation are formulated and then put to film.
