'The Scratch Card'
The New Hertford Film
Product Placement
The Scratch Card is more than just a film; it’s a showcase of our town. From the iconic towpaths of the River Lea to the modern estates and historic town centre, we are filming 100% on location.
We want to celebrate Hertford’s unique character by featuring the real businesses, brands, and locations that make this town home. We are offering local businesses a unique opportunity to be part of the production and gain significant brand exposure.
Why Partner with a Hertford-Grown Production?
-
Local Pride, National Reach: While the story is set in the heart of East Herts, our distribution strategy targets national streaming and the 2027 festival circuit. Your business stays rooted here but gets seen everywhere.
-
Authentic Town Scenes: We aren't building sets. We are filming in the streets we all know. This is a chance for your storefront, your product, or your service to be showcased in a professional feature film.
-
Support the Local Economy: By partnering with us, you’re supporting a production committed to hiring local talent and using local suppliers, keeping the "film pound" right here in Hertford.
Marketing Opportunities for Local Partners
-
The Hertford Backdrop: Are you a local café, shop, or business-owner? We are looking for authentic locations to feature as key scene backdrops.
-
Local "Hero" Brands: From the cafes our characters use to the bikes they ride from our independent shops, we want our characters to use the brands Hertford knows.
-
Community Supporter: Not looking for a "starring role"? We have "Community Partner" tiers for businesses that want to be featured in our credits and local marketing materials.
Your product, or business, appears clearly in the film, and your brand becomes part of the visual world of a feature-length production that will be submitted to UK and international festivals, streamed, and promoted across multiple platforms.
