FilmOffaly to launch innovative Vendor Discount Scheme
FilmOffaly will launch its new vendor discount scheme, under which local businesses will offer discounts to production companies filming in the region, this Thursday, November 14th, at a celebration of FilmOffaly's fifth birthday in Filmbase, Dublin.
With the FilmOffaly Vendor Card, local businesses can offer discounts to production companies filming in Offaly as well as individual crew members working on those productions. In return, participating businesses will be advertised free of charge on www.filmoffaly.ie and included in a welcome pack given to the production company.
When a qualifying production comes to Offaly, crew members will be issued with a FilmOffaly Vendor Card, showing that they are eligible to receive discounts. They can then access the online database at www.filmoffaly.ie which contains the names of participating business, their contact details, the services they provide and the discount offered.
Actor Antonia Campbell-Hughes, who recently filmed The Other Side of Sleep in Offaly, will launch the scheme on Thursday. More information at www.filmoffaly.ie
