Belfast – home of the Titanic, George Best and amazing hospitality – not to mention the music scene!
It is also where you will find some of the most welcoming and friendliest citizens of the UK and, among them, some amazingly gifted and talented filmmakers. (They didn’t film large parts of Game of Thrones around here just for the scenery, but also the talent pool the programme-makers could draw upon).
Here is a shortlist of top videography talent currently working in and around Belfast.
