00:00Excitement is building in Birmingham as Stephen Knight, creator of the hit series Peaky Blinders,
00:09confirms that filming for the movie will start in Digbeth in just 10 days.
00:15The area, known for its beautiful Victorian architecture and canal systems, is set to
00:19become a hub for the film industry, with plans for a created village that includes a hotel
00:25for actors and crew, affordable housing for those in the industry and a new Birmingham
00:30Film Academy.
00:33Knight envisions turning Digbeth into a space that not only attracts major productions like
00:37Peaky Blinders, but also integrates with the local community.
00:44The initiative is part of a broader vision for boosting the region's profile in film
00:48and television. This initiative is expected to create hundreds of new jobs and provide
00:53opportunities for local talent to break into the industry.
