MotherFatherSon, starring Richard Gere, is on BB2.
FilmFixer manages the film office service for 16 London Boroughs including Southwark, Kingston, Islington, Haringey, Camden, Bexley, Barnet and Bromley, where MotherFatherSon was filmed.
Community benefits
Filming for the production took place in a number of residential areas and the production made generous donations in Kingston to Cambridge Road Estates Community Group and Cambridge Road Estate Residents association.
Residents of Thamesmead (shown in photo) also benefited, as fees from filming go to Thamesmead 50th fund, ensuring that filming activity directly benefits the local community.

The production also gave valuable work experience to local Thamesmead resident, Riordan Tyson.
Riordan, who says he would like to become an editor, has been building up his CV and is already working on another production in Thamesmead.
As Riordan says, “I greatly enjoyed working on MotherFatherSon. The crew were more than willing to help me out with advice regarding a typical day on set, as well as more general advice for my future career in film making. They were really appreciative of my help.”
Peabody and FilmFixer are committed to helping Thamesmead residents gain work experience or extras positions on shoots and all productions are required to work with FilmFixer to source local talent.
FilmFixer has also placed social value, employment, and skills development at the heart of its new Film Office Service contracts.
