Permission to Film

When deciding on the narrative for our drama film, and when writing the script, we came to a mutual agreement that we needed a location to be the main characters 'childhood favourite place'. We thought that the nearby grounds of the historical monument Rockingham Castle would be the ideal, as the picturesque location would be a fantastic backdrop for predominantly the flashbacks of our film.

Together we made the decision to email Rockingham Castle to see if it would be possible to film their on location and when would be appropriate, these are the series of emails that we conversed with one another. 

This is the original email that we sent them.

They then responded with this.

We replied a few days later as we had to organise with our actors when would be a suitable time for us all.

This was our reply:

We went on to film on the grounds, the staff at the estate office were understanding and made sure that we knew it was ok to return at a later date if we needed to re-film anything, and to make sure that we sent it to them when we were finished as well as crediting them in our work, which we planned on doing so anyway.
