Made In Yorkshire is a glorious celebration of all the feature films shot in the county from the inception of film to the present day including in-depth accounts of more than 30 films.
Written by Tony Earnshaw, the Yorkshire Post's film critic and Artistic Director of the Bradford International Film Festival. Many of the photographs have been taken over a 25-year period by Jim Moran, one of the Yorkshire Post’s senior and award-winning photographers.
A foreword to the book is written by Oscar-winning screenwriter Ronald Harwood CBE whose film The Dresser, shot in Bradford, York and Halifax, features prominently.
Other photographs have been sourced from most of Yorkshire's newspapers, the general public and people who worked on the films. Many of these have never been seen before languishing either in basement filing cabinets or dresser drawers.
Yorkshire and its movies can boast a mouth-watering list of legends, icons and sex symbols. (...)Not all the places, towns and cities the films were shot in appear in the book photographically however they are of course written about in the body of the text.
The book is 272 pages and contains 330 photographs. Many of these have never been seen before.
A great number of the featured films contain interviews with the stars, many of which have been conducted especially for the book by esteemed writer Tony Earnshaw.
Wuthering Heights – Wensleydale, Grassington, Halifax & KeighleyMore information can be read on the Yorkshire Evening Post and Metro.co.uk.
