Torbay Council has adopted FilmApp to enhance the way filming applications and location requests are managed across the English Riviera. The move marks a significant step toward making Torbay a more accessible and film-friendly destination for production companies of all sizes.
Already using EventApp to efficiently handle event applications and permissions across the region, Torbay recognises the value of digital solutions in managing public space use. With the addition of FilmApp, the council now has a dedicated platform tailored specifically to the needs of filming production teams and council officers alike.
FilmApp will centralise filming enquiries, permit submissions, location logistics, risk assessments and council coordination in one place, replacing email threads and manual processes with a structured, trackable system that supports both applicants and internal teams. This aligns with Torbay’s aim to offer clarity, responsiveness and professionalism to filmmakers considering locations across Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.
For production professionals, FilmApp provides a clear and efficient route to submit filming requests, upload documentation, and communicate with council contacts. For Torbay, it offers improved transparency, better record-keeping and streamlined internal workflows, all of which help reduce turnaround times and create a more supportive environment for filming.
Adopting FilmApp alongside EventApp reinforces Torbay’s commitment to digital transformation in public services and underlines the council’s ambition to grow its presence on the filming map of the UK.
