As well as local factual film and documentary makers, anyone with a story to tell and a camera to do it with can submit their work, and show it to the city.

If you have made a Fictional or factual film or are planning to please get in touch. Here is some information that should be helpful in creating some fantastic content for ITV Local London.

Anyone can submit to ITV Local from professional to amateur filmmakers, youth groups to organisations. This is a democratic platform for all.

What kind of material does ITV Local show?

ITV Local is looking for all kinds of content from users - from full length documentaries to news items to comedy clips. We give prominence to content that reflects life in your local area, but anything that’s fun and interesting may catch our eye.

Rick Themistocli

(From Story To Screen In Eight Weeks) has begun shooting his first feature film as a producer in Paris. Currently titled Jack Says, the film is based on a popular comic series and the film is faithful to the graphic, film noir look which has seen revived popularity in recent years with films such as Sin City. The film stars Eric Cantona, Aurelie Amblard, Rula Lenska and Mike Reid.
