Where do Zipcar fit into the frame?
A film production simply can’t work without transport: whether filmmakers are scouting locations, travelling cast and crew, or transporting props and equipment. That’s why when we offer Shooting People members affordable rates and 24/7 access to cars – we know it’s a huge help. But on a deeper level, both Shooting People and our team at Zipcar want to support new ideas and innovation across the UK. For both reasons, the partnership makes a lot of sense. Supporting businesses throughout the city is really important to us. With this partnership, we’ve been able to step it up to a new level.
The aims of our partnership are twofold: support their amazing New Shoots initiative – a high-profile film competition and live event that runs four times a year – and provide day-to-day access to cars and vans at affordable rates. It means filmmakers can spend precious budget on productions, rather than logistics, and the films (as well as audiences) benefit in the long run. On top of that, we get our name out there and help more businesses save money and cut down on emissions. Everybody wins.
Shooting People is a network of independent filmmakers. Find out how connections and partnerships (including a partnership with us at Zipcar) help their business, and the film industry as a whole.
