Walk the corridors and the history accumulates around you. From the outside, it could be any other building on any other street in Richmond. Step inside and the framed film posters begin, too many to count, lining walls that span more than a century. Handwritten notes from Meryl Streep and Michael Caine line the walls. Tom Cruise, Ethan Hawke and Salma Hayek have all worked here. The studios have been operating since 1913, making them one of the oldest continuously working film studios in the world. What began in the earliest days of British cinema has evolved into a place where projects of every scale continue to pass through: major Hollywood productions, independent films, television series and music videos. Producers come for the stages, but they stay for the ecosystem that surrounds them: dubbing theatres, cutting rooms, specialised sound-proof recording studios, and the kind of post-production infrastructure that allows a project to be finished under the same roof it began. Lucy, Studio Coordinator, knows the pulse of the place better than most, the particular energy of a building where an Oscar-winning film mix, a television series racing toward delivery and Olivia Dean's latest music video might all be happening at once, each given the same focused attention.
