Screen London Barnet was introduced on September 1 at Troubadour Brent Cross Studios.
The scheme involves education, industry, and government partners working together to create productions and jobs in the screen, film, and TV industries.
The founding partners of the alliance are Middlesex University, Barnet Council, Barnet and Southgate College, and Troubadour Brent Cross Studios.
The partnership is supported by Barnet Council’s Screen Skills Plan, which aims to establish the borough as a hub for the growing screen industries, including film, television, gaming, and digital media.
Part of Screen London Barnet is the new MDX Studios at Middlesex University, which will provide real-world experience to students.
Professor Shân Wareing, Middlesex University vice-chancellor, said: “I’m delighted and proud to be here today.
“This new partnership promises to revolutionise the creative industries here in north London.
“Our vision is to develop a workforce that is sustainable and diverse, and that is why our new alliance is so valuable.”
Councillor Barry Rawlings, leader of Barnet Council, added: “Screen London Barnet is the next step in ensuring our residents benefit from the opportunities created in the creative industries across the borough.”
Barnet and Southgate College Studio opened in 2024, providing qualifications in music production, media production, games development, and VFX to more than 200 students.
Neil Coker, chief executive of the college, said: “Barnet and Southgate College, as a co-founder of Screen London, will provide exceptional training and real-world work experiences to our students and, through this, equip them with the skills and knowledge needed to progress into higher-level training and into jobs.”
Vincent Woods, head of studios at Troubadour Studios, called it “a great time to give passionate students and graduates the opportunity to get their foot in the door”.
