Reinventing the directories for the film industry

My name is Tony Franks and I am a London-based film enthusiast on a mission to publish better directories for the film and TV industry.

My first three of these niche examples:

** For film studios, I publish THE STUDIO MAP - a website covering the best film & TV studio facilities.

See: https://thestudiomap.com/

** For cameras, I publish THE CAMERA MAP - a website covering the sources for pro film & TV cameras, specifically rental companies, sales companies and manufacturers such as ARRI, Sony, RED, etc,

See https://thecameramap.com/

** For screening rooms, I publish SCREENING ROOM MAP - a website covering cinemas and screening rooms available for private hire: See https://screeningroommap.com/

For 2024, I am expanding these websites from a UK focus, to cover the US and a lot more, globally.

Please check out these sites and, if you are interested in finding out more, please keep in touch.

Happy filmmaking and all the best, Tony

Best wishes for your idea.

What unbelievable resources Tony! What made you decide to put these together? This is such a gift to the creative community and we thank you!

Tony Franks

Thank you, Amanda, for your kind comment... I created these guides because I sensed gaps in the market, and because I thought there were shortcomings of other, 'bigger' directories. Niche is the word...

Sam Sokolow

I agree with Amanda - this is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much, Tony Franks!

Tony. Very useful. My search for Screening Locations yielded lots of high end broker as if I was launching the new Porsche. This is very useful. If there is social media platform you prefer me to use send me details and I will promote it. #exchangeofvalue. !!.
